A random-key genetic algorithm-based method for transportation network vulnerability envelope analysis under simultaneous multi-link disruptions by Gu, Y, Ryu, S, Xu, Y, Chen, A, Chan, H-Y, Xu, X

“…This study aims to develop an efficient method based on the random key genetic algorithm (RKGA) for determining the TNVE under simultaneous multi-link disruptions. The main features and benefits of the proposed method include: (a) it simultaneously solves the upper- and lower-bound problems at the same time while guaranteeing the feasibility of all solutions in the solution procedure; (b) it improves the computational efficiency to ensure the applicability to real transportation networks; and (c) it can provide a variety of alternative solutions in addition to the single optimal one, which facilitates the derivation of TNVE buffer and identification of sub-important links. …”
