Abstract: Kentucky’s strategic position in the nation’s freight network demands a resilient transportation system. As per the 2022 Kentucky Freight Plan report, more than half of the truck freight movement in Kentucky takes place in rural regions. Freight network resilience is vital especially during natural disasters as the routes can be disturbed or even cut off. TRIP’s report projects a 53% increase in freight weight for Kentucky by 2050, hence requiring a robust network which offers redundancy and resilience in situations when vulnerable routes are compromised; rerouting the freight trucks to alternative routes is essential to ensure that the flow of goods is not disrupted. However, identifying the routes where freight trucks need to be diverted due to disruptions is not straightforward as the shortest alternative path might not be feasible due to freight trucks’ peculiar size and weight. The rerouted paths must also be able to handle trucks effectively in addition to providing ample clearance. Determining the vulnerable routes likely to need an alternate route in the case of a potential disruption can be promising in contributing to the resilience of rural freight network in Kentucky.
