Congestion occurs and propagates in the stations of urban rail transit, which results in the impendent need to comprehensively evaluate the station performance. Based on complex network theory, a key station identification method is considered. This approach considers both the topology and dynamic operation states of urban rail transit network, such as degree, passenger demand, system capacity and capacity utilization. A case of Beijing urban rail transit is applied to verify the validation of… 

Analysis of railway systems applying complex networks: the case of Mexican Railway system

It is observed that in the Mexican network the distance between the stations shows low variability, and the network is sensitive attacks directed to the nodes with the highest betweenness value; the number of components increases faster compared to random failures.

Passenger flow control with multi-station coordination in subway networks: algorithm development and real-world case study

A new multi-station coordinated passenger flow control model is proposed to simultaneously adjust the number of inbound and transfer passengers entering multiple stations or lines during peak hours, considering passenger flow evolution, dynamic path cost, and route choice.

Research on the Route Choice Behavior of Subway Passengers Based on AFC Data

This paper studies the route choice behavior of passengers from auto fare collection and timetable data using a method combined with Bayesian and Metropolis–Hasting sampling, and develops a logit model to model route choicebehavior of subway passengers.

On Time-Dependent Critical Platforms and Tracks in Metro Systems

Metro systems play an important role in the public transportation system, and metro safety and passenger satisfaction are of great concern to urbanized societies. Identifying critical platforms and

Weighted Complex Network Analysis of the Difference Between Nodal Centralities of the Beijing Subway System

A two-layered model is applied to identify the most central stations in the Beijing Subway System, in which the lower layer is the physical infrastruc-ture and the upper layer represents the passenger flows, indicating that the alpha centrality approx-imates the real load better than the betweenness, as it can capture the direction and volume of the flows along links and the flows into and out of the systems.

Reliability Measure-Based Data Analytics Approach to Identifying and Ranking Recurrent Bottlenecks in Urban Rail Transit Networks

Recurrent bottlenecks in the urban rail transit (URT) system during rush hours have become a significant concern for both passengers and URT operators and in order to alleviate the resulting congestion, a network-based approach is proposed.
