Reliability analysis of Tianjin urban rail transit network based on complex network evolution characteristics
Abstract
The rapid development of new urbanization boosts the pace of urban rail transit (URT) network construction. The new-built lines not only facilitate people’s daily travel, but also change the reliability of the original network. In this paper, based on the complex network theory, the static characteristics of Tianjin URT represented by the current and forward networks are analyzed. The global efficiency is selected as the evaluation index to analyze the evolution characteristics of the network. The results show that Zhigu station and Xiawafang station are more vulnerable in the current network, while Zhangxingzhuang station and Jinzhonghe street station are the key stations in the forward network, and need to be paid more attention. Meanwhile, the lines M9 and Z2 as the key lines in the long-term network and their reliability must be ensured.
