Transport accessibility and road network load in Poland when faced with flood hazards
This scientific monograph presents the empirical findings of a comprehensive research project funded by the National Science Centre in Poland, dedicated to assessing the vulnerability of passenger road transport systems under various flood hazard scenarios. The book explores the intricate relationships between flood risk zones, land use patterns, and population distribution to model the scale of disruption in transport accessibility and shifting network traffic loads. By identifying critical infrastructure components—such as vulnerable road segments and bridges that fail to function efficiently during crises—the study provides advanced methodologies for evaluating transport network resilience. Ultimately, this text serves as a crucial resource for transport geographers, spatial planners, and crisis management specialists aiming to design robust emergency routing, optimize self-evacuation policies, and retain network efficiency during extreme natural events.
