Abstract

In this chapter, we propose a decision support system that allows analysts to assess the reliability of street networks. The system consists of three main components: a graph construction tool that transforms OpenStreetMap data into a directed graph, a traffic estimator that defines the traffic volume between origin-destination pairs, and an optimization model that determines an optimal flow of traffic from origins to destinations. We apply this system to the nation-wide street network of Switzerland. We also discuss how this system may be useful for the analysis of train networks, and we point to opportunities for future research.
