Since the concept of resilience was introduced into the field of transportation, resilient transportation has received extensive attention from researchers in the transportation field. Road transportation infrastructures with good resilience can effectively deal with various natural and man-made disasters, and further meet the needs of efficient and safe transportation in the future. In order to clarify the current research status of road transportation infrastructure resilience around the world, the research results of road transportation infrastructure resilience were summarized from the definition, measurement methods, and resilience improvement technologies of road transportation infrastructure, and the future road transportation infrastructure resilience research was discussed especially the development direction and research focuses of resilience improvement technology. The analysis shows that the research on the resilience of road transportation infrastructure mainly focuses on the overall traffic network organization and planning level of the road network. The research on the resilience of the infrastructure structure is relatively scattered, and there is a lack of unified and comprehensive definitions and metrics. In addition, in the research on the catastrophic failure mechanism of structural resilience, there is a lack of a comprehensive research understanding of all elements and the coupling between structural systems, and it is difficult to reveal the chain process and catastrophe characteristics of catastrophic evolution. Therefore, the research on the resilience of future road transportation infrastructure should further reveal the theories and methods of catastrophe analysis of different types of facility structures, and establish a comprehensive and unified definition and measurement standard for the structural resilience of road transportation infrastructures. At the same time, from the perspectives of disaster monitoring, structural safety and resilience improvement, flexible operation and post-disaster recovery, etc., more effective technologies for improving the resilience of road transportation infrastructure should be formed and furtherly promoted in the future.
