Abstract
At many times we observed disturbances of traffic flow on highways. This may be caused by traffic accidents, bad weather conditions, road maintenance or rush hours. The Road Traffic Management takes many rules and regulation, to make road sections more robust to disturbances and improve the recovery from disturbances in traffic flow (traffic resilience). To study the effect and impact of these rules and regulations assessment models of traffic resilience was needed. In this paper, we designed and tested such an assessment model. The model is inspired by the well-known Resilience Triangle. The assessment of traffic resilience was based on measurements of the speed of traffic flow on highways. Neural Networks were used to model and smooth recorded speed data. The Traffic Resilience model has been tested on real life data.
