Modeling the Vulnerability and Resilience of Interdependent Transportation Networks under Multiple Disruptions

Because infrastructure systems are highly interconnected, it is crucial to analyze their vulnerability and resilience with the consideration of interdependencies. This paper constructed a bus-metro interdependent network model based on the passenger transfer relationship and used deep learning to identify the network topology attributes. The vulnerability process of the interdependent network to different disruptions under structural and functional perspective was studied. On this basis, this paper adopted a resilience assessment framework and mainly focused on modeling and resilience analysis of interdependent networks' recovery processes. The optimal and instructive recovery strategy was determined, and it is shown that the increase of the coupling distance cannot alleviate the vulnerability of the interdependent network effectively; after the tolerance coefficient reaches the threshold, the effect on the vulnerability of the dependent network is weakened; and a betweenness-based strategy (BBS) works best in the preferential recovery of key nodes.
