Assessing the Dynamic Resilience of Urban Road System: A Case Study of Xiamen City, China

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban road system resilience is critical for managing extreme flood events, yet existing assessments predominantly focus on static indicators that capture inherent system capacity rather than dynamic responses to disturbances. This study proposes a dynamic resilience analysis framework that tracks urban road system performance under ...
