Highlights Unique review of resilience and vulnerability in transportation science. Resilience and vulnerability are seen from a connectivity and accessibility angle. Both concepts are related to robustness, reliability and friability.
Abstract This paper aims to adopt a critical stance on the relevance and interpretation of the recently emerging concepts of resilience and vulnerability in transportation studies. It makes a clear distinction between engineering and ecological interpretations of these concepts and offers a systematic typology of various studies in this field. A core element in the study is the linkage between the aforementioned concepts and connectivity/accessibility in transport networks. The methodological findings in the study are put in perspective by addressing also such concepts as robustness, reliability and friability of transport systems.
