Quantifying temporal vulnerability of urban multi-modal transit networks under interdependent cascading failures
This scientific report proposes a framework to assess the temporal vulnerability of urban multi-modal public transit networks (MPTNs) to cascading failures. It integrates network topology, dynamic evolution, and passenger interchange characteristics, finding that MPTNs are less vulnerable with increased station capacity and during off-peak hours.
Why it matters
The findings provide crucial insights for urban planners and transit authorities to improve service quality, design more resilient transit systems, and mitigate the impact of disruptions, enhancing urban mobility and safety.
