Analysis of urban rail transport networks in case of disruption

Abstract

Public transport (PT) and especially urban rail transport (URT) are essential parts of modern urban environments, with URT constituting the core of mass transit by facilitating numerous citizens’ daily commutes. As potential disruptions in URT can have significant impacts on the overall PT operation, systematic vulnerability analysis is crucial for effective disruption management aimed at mitigating those impacts. In this dissertation, Complex Network Theory is utilized to develop a methodological framework aimed at analyzing URT vulnerability, focusing on the interaction between URT and alternative PT modes that can support or substitute for the former in cases of their disruption. The research conducted for the dissertation is focused on three main pillars: a) critical stations, b) passenger flows, and c) substitution capabilities for URT. First, a methodology for the identification of critical URT stations is developed based on network and statistical analysis, while different sourc ...
