This review was primarily focused on the current literature on disaster resilience of road
transportation infrastructure as well as port linked transportation structure. A limitation of the
review is that it excludes literature on disaster resilience of rail and air transport infrastructure.
Similarly, in marine transportation, we have limited ourselves to port linked activities and
have excluded discussions on disasters on high seas like collisions, piracy, oil spills, etc.
From the review it becomes evident that there is still no widely accepted measure for
resilience of road transportation infrastructure. Measures for port disaster resilience and
disaster resilience of port linked multimodal transportation systems are still scarcer. There is
an overwhelming preponderance of research on US transportation and port infrastructure
resilience. Such studies in other parts of the world, particularly in economically important
countries like India, China, Brazil, Russia, etc are meager in comparison. There is thus a
serious information gap for planners and administrators in such countries to make informed
investment decisions. These areas require immediate attention of researchers.
