Abstract: Most of transportation networks interacts with other to support our modern society way of life. The proper performance of interdependent networks depends on the normal operation of the networks that are interconnected. The aim of this thesis is to measure and analyze the robustness of different interdependent networks models under large-scale failures and, in particular, to consider interdependent networks where at least one of the networks is a telecommunication network. Both, the effects of different network models and the dynamic process of failure propagation between networks are considered. New interconnection strategies are proposed to improve the robustness of the interconnected networks by analyzing the vulnerability of networks to failures and targeted attacks. Moreover, an enhanced region-based interconnection model is proposed by considering a limit to the number of interlinks between the interconnected nodes.
