This paper presents a comprehensive review of the scholarly literature related to the field of network-disruption analysis. Research related to network disruption has progressed immensely since the late 1990s and now includes a wide variety of themes and approaches used to assess the impacts associated with a variety of disruptive events. Of particular relevance are those approaches which use repetitive link and/or node-removal methodologies to develop measures of network robustness or vulnerability (complementary concepts). More recently, various methods have begun to focus on the sequential application of equilibrium-based traffic assignments to measure the cost of a disruption to the network. It is crucial for these types of methods to handle the complexities of real-world transportation networks - one of which is the presence of isolating links in a network, which provide a single link to a particular region or subnetwork. A number of methods have attempted to deal with the problem of isolating links in different ways, but none has been ubiquitously successful. To develop a comprehensive and useful measure of transportation network robustness it is important to successfully address the issue of isolating network links.
