Abstract :
We propose location-based techniques for the automatic discovery of shared risk link groups (SRLGs) in transport networks, which are fundamental inputs for failure risk management. The benefit of these techniques is to enhance or replace the flawed, manually maintained databases used today to support SRLG management.
