The protection of critical infrastructure such as power grids, water supply, and street networks, has become a priority of homeland security. In this chapter, we propose a decision support system that enables the assessment of the reliability of street networks based on publicly available data. The system consists of three main components: a graph construction tool that transforms OpenStreetMap data into a directed graph, a traffic estimator that defines the traffic volume between origin-destination pairs, and an optimization model that determines an optimal flow of traffic from the origins to the respective destinations. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed system, we apply it to the nation-wide street network of Switzerland. We also discuss how this system may apply to the analysis of train networks and point to opportunities for future research.
