Understanding Traffic Redistribution
Traffic redistribution is te dynamic process by which authles shift from a disrupted or closed facility to o alternative routes with in a road network. Thee fenomenon is governed by seteral intercontradent factors:
- That fyzical ayout of roads, including thee density of alternate pathy, thee capacity of arterials versus collectors, and thee presence of chokepointes such as single-lane bridges or roungoses.

Simulation Methodologies for traffic Redistribution
Traffic simation models fall along a spectrum of detail. Thee choice of metodiky depens on n th e scale of thee study area, thee avavaable data, and thee specific questions being asked about thee infrastructure fagure.

The Lighthill cath whithém cath richhards (LWR) theorey and the cell transmission model (CTM) are common fonlundations.
