This paper presents a comprehensive review of centrality measures and their usefulness in transportation networks in the face of climate change adaptation. The focus is on understanding the importance of transportation nodes in the event of extreme weather events and climate-related disasters that may render them inoperable. The paper argues that if critical nodes can be identified, they can be better protected, while resources can be allocated to ensure their functioning in the event of such events. The paper assesses 17 centrality measures, including degree, closeness, betweenness, eigenvector, and Katz, and evaluates their usefulness and usability in transportation networks. The review highlights the need to reformulate these measures to take into account traffic- and transport-related parameters and variables. Without this reformulation, centrality measures only reveal node importance in a topological or structural way and fail to capture the true significance of the nodes in a transportation network. The reformulation enables the centrality measures to be properly applied in a transportation network and to expose the significance of their elements. This work has important implications for transportation planners and policy-makers in ensuring the resilience of critical transportation infrastructure in the face of climate-related disasters.
