Abstract

Resilience becomes an important attribute for networked infrastructure systems to survive from severe disruptive events, either natural or man-made. This study aims to determine how resiliency in Thai rail system can be modeled. Building upon existing work on transportation resilience, this study discusses resilience measure for networked infrastructure how to improve resiliency. A thorough literature review was conducted on infrastructure system resilience to develop a resilience assessment model. The physical Thai rail network was mapped, and network connectivity was measured. The analysis of the results indicated that resilience for Thai rail system can be measured by assessing degradation of network connectivity under disruptions
