    A resilience analysis of large-scale road networks is challenging owing to the complexity of analysis and the need for large-scale data. Nonetheless, a development of a general-purpose software to this end is desired to enhance the accessibility to such an advanced analysis and to facilitate interdisciplinary research collaborations. To this end, a Matlab-based toolkit, ResMapper is developed to perform a seismic resilience analysis of road networks. ResMapper innovates on the previous works in two perspectives. First, it performs a probabilistic resilience analysis, being specialised for large-scale networks. Second, it considers various causes of road closures: structural damage of roadways and debris impacts by overpasses and adjacent buildings. The applicability of ResMapper is demonstrated by a benchmark example of the road network of Istanbul, Turkey. In addition, the detailed analyses available in the supplementary document demonstrate the utility of ResMapper for understanding the resilience of a road network and help understand the varying influences of analysis parameters
