Abstract
This paper introduces a generic resilience framework that
is applied to transport systems. The framework is based
on prior research and literature on resilien ce. The
paper first reviews the relevant literature and builds a
resilience model that distinguishes the attributes and
sub-attributes of resilience. The resilience model and
transport system components are then merged into a
single-system resilience matrix. The complexity of
resilience of a meta-system - a system comprising several
sub-systems - is discussed in brief and a simplified
example of how to apply meta-level resilience analysis on
transport systems is shown. Finally, the implications for
other systems, particularly those governed by cities and
municipalities, are discussed. In fact, cities and
municipalities face even more complex resilience analysis
tasks than those faced by State authorities, who mostly
govern sector systems (e.g. transport) within their
mandate. It is argued that municipal decision-makers
encounter serious challenges and questions when they
consider the enhancement of their communities'
resilience.
