Measuring accessibility to public services and infrastructure criticality for disasters risk management.

ABSTRACT: Component criticality analysis of infrastructure systems has traditionally focused on physical networks rather than infrastructure services. As an example, a key objective of transport infrastructure is to ensure mobility and resilient access to public services, including for the population, service providers, and associated supply chains. We introduce a new user-centric measure for estimating infrastructure criticality and urban accessibility to critical public services - particularly healthcare facilities without loss of generality - and the effects of disaster-induced infrastructure disruptions. Accessibility measures include individuals' choices of all services in each sector. The approach is scalable and modular while preserving detailed features necessary for local planning decisions
