Many systems on our planet shift abruptly and irreversibly from the desired state to an
undesired state when forced across a “tip** point”. Some examples are mass extinctions …

The concept of resilience can be realized in natural and engineering systems, representing
the ability of a system to adapt and recover from various disturbances. Although resilience is …

Phase synchronizations in models of coupled oscillators such as the Kuramoto model have
been widely studied with pairwise couplings on arbitrary topologies, showing many …

Heavy traffic jams are difficult to predict due to the complexity of traffic dynamics.
Understanding the network dynamics of traffic bottlenecks can help avoid critical large traffic …

Urban road networks are typical complex systems, which are crucial to our society and
economy. In this study, topological characteristics of a number of urban road networks purely …

Simplicial Kuramoto models have emerged as a diverse and intriguing class of models
describing oscillators on simplices rather than nodes. In this paper, we present a unified …

Component criticality analysis of infrastructure systems has traditionally focused on physical
networks rather than infrastructure services. As an example, a key objective of transport …

Spatial-temporal correlations among the data play an important role in traffic flow prediction.
Correspondingly, traffic modeling and prediction based on big data analytics emerges due …

Air transport network, or airport network, is a complex network involving numerous airports.
Effective management of the air transport system requires an in-depth understanding of the …

Benchmarking different aspects of air transport, and especially airport operations, is a
research topic both important and complex, as proposed solutions are usually limited by …
