Abstract

The chapter addresses resilience engineering's role in sustainable and disaster-resistant transportation infrastructure. Integrating autonomous cars, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and network reconfiguration methodologies improves transportation network flexibility and recovery. The technology may decrease traffic, increase safety, and improve inhabitants' commuting experiences. Integration requires stakeholder involvement, infrastructure development, and strategic planning, according to the research. Contraflow, crossing removal at junctions, optimisation models, traffic assignment problem (TAP), and gradient projection increase traffic flow, congestion, and evacuation efficiency in resilient engineering. It strengthens transportation systems' ability to adapt, respond, and recover from disturbances to protect communities and ensure infrastructure sustainability. Finally, resilience engineering reduces transportation system disruptions and makes infrastructure more adaptive, durable, and sustainable.
