Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental On a small existing benchmark, our algorithm produces near-optimal solutions and the SAA method converges quickly with a small number of samples. We then apply our algorithm to a large real-world problem to optimize the resilience of a road network to failures of stream crossing structures to minimize travel times of emergency medical service vehicles.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Primal-Dual Algorithm
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide concrete access to source code (specific repository link, explicit code release statement, or code in supplementary materials) for the methodology described in this paper.
Open Datasets No The paper mentions using 'Istanbul Earthquake Preparation' (Peeta et al. 2010) as a benchmark and a dataset from 'the Deerfield river watershed in Massachusetts', but does not provide specific links, DOIs, repository names, or explicit statements of public availability for these datasets.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using 'training samples' and 'testing samples' for evaluation but does not explicitly define distinct 'validation' splits for model tuning or hyperparameter selection.
Hardware Specification Yes We experimented on two different domains, using a 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 CPU with 16GB of RAM.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details, such as library or solver names with version numbers, needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup Yes We used the basic settings described by Peeta et al. (2010), with Mo,d =120.Each crossing has a survival probability pe in the range [0.2 0.4]. An edge, if associated with a crossing, has length le with probability pe and has length with probability 1 pe. pe is raised to 1.0 if the corresponding crossing is fixed. We used a constant investment cost for all crossings.
