Title: Reliability Analysis of Guangzhou Rail Transit with Complex Network Theory
Abstract: Urban rail transit network can be regarded as a complex network consisting of stations and lines.Exploring connectivity of rail transit network by complex network theory has certain significance on its accessibility and operation efficiency improvement.Topology of Guangzhou rail transit network was made by space L method,and the value and distribution of the network's degree,clustering coefficient,and average shortest way length are then computed and analyzed.The influencing degree and reliability of the network are discussed under the situation that the transfer station with malfunction.The results indicate that a random-network characteristic is shown by the current rail transit of Guangzhou,and the malfunction of transfer stations significantly influences the long distance trip,which decreases the passenger attraction of the rail transit.With the malfunction of a transfer station,the overall efficiency of Guangzhou rail transit network is reduced,the local efficiency stays the same,while most of the stations have weaker connectivity.
