A Resilience-as-a-Service assessment framework for coordinated disruption response in interdependent urban transit systems

arXiv:2606.08849v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Urban public transport disruptions require rapid response strategies, yet existing studies rarely provide a decision support framework to compare alternative disruption response solutions using a common set of dynamic, passenger, operator, and environment oriented indicators. This paper proposes a KPI-driven, time-indexed framework to assess the resilience of disruption response solutions in urban transit systems. The framework combines an optimization model with a behavioral evaluation in agent-based simulation. It also underlays the secondary s

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of urban transit systems, coupled with rising expectations for continuous service, demand more sophisticated disruption response strategies, making this research timely.

Why it’s important

This framework offers a structured, data-driven approach to enhance urban resilience by providing a common set of metrics to compare and optimize disruption response solutions in critical infrastructure.

What changes

The adoption of such a framework would enable urban planners and transit operators to move beyond ad-hoc responses towards proactively designed, data-backed resilience strategies, improving urban functionality during crises.

Winners
  • · Urban transit authorities
  • · Smart city technology providers
  • · Commuters
  • · Emergency response services
Losers
  • · Legacy infrastructure management methodologies
  • · Cities without advanced planning capabilities
Second-order effects
Direct

More efficient and less disruptive urban transit operations during unforeseen events.

Second

Increased public trust in urban infrastructure and potentially higher ridership due to improved reliability.

Third

Integration of similar resilience-as-a-service frameworks into other urban critical infrastructure sectors, driving broader smart city development.
