Overview: This white paper document discusses earthquake disasters that had caused major damage to transportation networks, leading to significant economic disruption. This paper develops post-disaster system performance measures and applies them to the urban rail and highway transportation systems in the Kobe, Japan, region devastated by the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. It also highlights how the performance is evaluated in terms of network coverage and transport accessibility and emphasizes on the fact that the performance degradation was much more severe for highways and railways than for other lifeline infrastructure systems.
