Determining Critical Locations in a Road Network
Louis R. Joslyn · SIAM Undergraduate Research Online · 2014
Critical locations in infrastructure are roads that, if damaged, would cause a large disruption in the ability of vehicles to navigate a city.In this paper, we consider critical locations in the road network of Indianola, Iowa.The presence of cut vertices and values of betweenness for a given road segment are used in determining the importance of that given road segment.We present a model that uses these critical factors to order the importance of separate road segments.Finally, we explore models that focus on betweenness to improve accuracy when discovering critical locations.
