RoadRoadtransportTransportsystemSystems consists of the supply and demand componentComponent. The supply componentComponent embraces: infrastructureInfrastructure including roadsRoad and highways with the specific constructions such as bridgesBridges and tunnelsTunnels, carCar parking areas, busBus stops, and busBus stations/terminals; traffic and transportTransport supporting facilitiesFacilities and equipmentEquipment; roadRoadvehiclesVehicle—passengerPassengercarsCar, vans, and busesBus; fuel/energy powering the vehiclesVehicle and supporting facilitiesFacilities and equipmentEquipment; and directly and indirectly operatingOperatingstaffStaff (e.g., the former embraces the roadRoad/highway maintenance staffStaff, taxi and busBus drivers, and the vehicleVehicle maintenance staffStaff; the latter embraces traffic police and administration). The roadRoadtransportTransportsystemSystems serving user/passengerPassenger demand is generally characterized by infrastructural, technicalTechnical/technologicalTechnological, operational, economicEconomic, environmentalEnvironmental, and socialSocialperformancesPerformances. These are frequently exposed to different externalExternal and internalInternaldisruptiveDisruptiveeventsEvent, which affectAffect their plannedPlanned/regularRegularfunctionalityFunctionality. This chapter elaborates these performancesPerformances, characteristic externalExternal and internalInternaldisruptiveDisruptiveeventsEvent impacting these performancesPerformances, and the analytical modelsModel of reliabilityReliability, resilienceResilience, robustnessRobustness, and vulnerabilityVulnerability based on the corresponding modelsModel of indicatorsIndicator of functionalityFunctionality of particular performancesPerformances as FOMs (figures-of-merit). Two illustrative cases of application of the proposed modelsModel to the passengerPassengercarCar and taxi traffic flows in urbanUrban area impacted by the severe weatherWeather—heavy rain and to the urbanUrban public busBustransportTransportnetworkNetwork impacted by the epidemicEpidemic/pandemicPandemicdiseaseDisease are presented.
