Edge-based graph neural network for ranking critical road segments in a network. by Debasish Jana, Sven Malama, Sriram Narasimhan, Ertugrul Taciroglu

“…We propose a novel approach to rapidly identify critical and vital network components (road segments in a transportation network) for resilience improvement or post-disaster recovery. We pose the transportation network as a graph with roads as edges and intersections as nodes and deploy a Graph Neural Network (GNN) trained on a broad range of network parameter changes and disruption events to rank the importance of road segments. …”
