Abstract Reliability becomes an essential performance measure of several practical networks. This paper evaluates the reliability of multimodal humanitarian logistics to indicate the ability to distribute all relief demands under specific constraints of time. The MHLN model is constructed, and the process to determine the minimal paths feasible within the time constraint is provided. Then, reliability is calculated by employing the concept of lower boundary points and the recursive sum of the disjoint products method. Through an illustrative example, this study indicates how the main algorithm assesses reliability in practice and proves the implications of this research.
