This paper describes a declarative approach to modeling a multimodal transportation network (MTN) composed of multiple connecting transport modes, such as bus, tram, light rail, subway and commuter rail, where within each mode, service is provided on separate lines or routes. The considered model of a network of multimodal transportation processes (MTPN) provides a framework to address the needs for transportation networks robustness while taking into account their capacity and demand requirements. Therefore the work focuses on evaluation of the network robustness allowing distinguished multimodal processes to continue in order to accomplish trips following an assumed set of multimodal chains connecting transport modes between origins and destinations. Consequently, a solution to the problem of prototyping robust transits on a given multimodal network is implemented and tested. The conditions that guarantee the network robustness, taking into account disruptions of supply and demand as well as operational control, are provided. The aim of investigations is to provide a tool for evaluating the robustness of a network of multimodal transportation processes as well as different travel modes through a transportation network.
