Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the immense impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on economies and societies, many countries are now including renewed infrastructure investment as a stimulus measure. Infrastructure resilience is the ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events. The effectiveness of a resilient infrastructure or enterprise depends upon its ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and/or rapidly recover from a potentially disruptive event. On the other hand, the development of the urban road network plays an important role in the economic development of a country. The appropriate development of the urban road network not only reduces the cost of transportation, but also aids in the integration of various regions within the country and the better understanding of neighboring countries at the international level. Developing a resilient urban roadway network is important to reduce direct losses and the indirect costs of disruption.
This Special Issue provides a cross-disciplinary forum for researchers to disseminate innovative research and engineering practices in algorithms to compute and quantify urban roadway network resilience, such as artificial intelligence, agent-based modeling, machine learning, etc. Papers may report on original research, discuss methodological aspects, review the current state of the art, or offer perspectives on future prospects.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Computation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
