The node weighing factor w i and IPW weighting factor w k (i, j), so defined, not only ensure that all nodes and links in the network are properly weighted in the resilience-based performance metric based on their individual attributes (topology, traffic patterns, and functionality during a community’s post-disaster recovery as well as structural reliability of individual bridges), but also preserve the physical meaning of the metric WIPW – the weighted average number of reliable IPWs between all O–D pairs in the road network.
