This thesis proposes an analysing tool that makes use of route set generation to perform road network analysis that can be used in both transport planning and traffic management analysis. The input to the tool is a routable road network and a geographical zoning system and the route set generation is performed on all Origin-Destination (OD) -pairs of the zoning system. The tool was implemented using a simplification of Stockholms road network and a zoning system defined by the Swedish Transport Administration. The result shows that a route set generation-based tool can provide support in both transport planning and traffic management, and that the procedure provides results within a reasonable amount of time. The tool provides both a general analysis of the road network, and a link capacity reduction analysis. In the latter, the proportion of affected destinations and mean travel time deterioration for each OD-zone work as metrics of how the zones are affected by the capacity reduction. Transport planners can use the tool to present the betweenness centrality, the proportion of affected destinations and the mean travel time deterioration, all of which are metrics that can be used to evaluate the potential need for new infrastructure. Traffic managers can use the proportion of affected destinations and the mean travel time deterioration as metrics that can be used to identify zones that are affected by a road capacity reduction. The betweenness centrality of the best alternative route can be used to support traffic diversion for a specific zone.
