This book discusses the study and analysis of the physical aspects of social systems and
models, inspired by the analogy with familiar models of physical systems and possible …

Modern society is increasingly dependent on the stability of a complex system of
interdependent infrastructure sectors. It is imperative to build resilience of large-scale …

This paper analyzes the networked characteristics of three metro networks, and two
malicious attacks are employed to investigate the vulnerability of metro networks based on …

Recently, cities have become larger and larger, and more and more people are living in
large cities. This phenomenon has caused serious traffic congestion which is very …

How to identify critical nodes in metro networks is still an open and vital topic in complex
networks, which has been a key issue in analyzing the structural organization of a network …

Urban rail transit networks (URTNs) have experienced rapid development and have been
receiving much attention recently. In this paper, we comprehensively analyze the topological …

Metros and other rapid transit systems increase the mobility of urban populations while
decreasing congestion and pollution. There are now over 210 cities with a metro system in …

Urban metro network system is the most effective solution for relieving traffic congestion in
large cities. With the development of metro, vulnerability analysis is a core process of metro …

In this paper, a framework is given to model the network of networks and to investigate the
vulnerability of the network of networks subjected to failures. Because there are several …

The graph theory gives a mathematical representation of transport networks and allows us to
study their characteristics effectively. A research of the structure of metro system has been …
