Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComprehensive Assessment of Spatial Distribution of Road-Network Vulnerability in South AsiaPan Yuqi, Jiang Penghui, Li Manchun, Chen DengshuaiUnexpected phenomena-natural disasters, accidents and wars-can disrupt regional traffic systems because of the incapacities of road networks to sustain inflicted impacts. Therefore, the assessment of road-network vulnerability becomes integral to traffic-safety-maintenance and accident-prevention procedures. This study demonstrates the development of a comprehensive network system based on suggested improvements in node extraction, road construction and network attribution. An indicator system for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 6 · 24 Dec 2021 · 6,446 accessesView PDF Cite
