Abstract

ABSTRACT: The reliability of the transportation network is studied by simulating the attack on the important edges. The important edges are deliberately attacked, and the impedance of the attacking edges is set to infinity. Then the influence of the characteristics of single failure edge on network reliability change and the influence of failure edge number on network reliability change are studied. Two test schemes are designed to compare the changes of network reliability in three failure experiments. At last, for the transportation network ofZhengzhou-Europe International Block train, the simulation experiment of the transportation network reliability is curried out to demonstrate the proposed method. The reliability of the transportation network is studied through numerical simulation, which is helpful to improve the reliability of the transportation network and reduce the huge economic loss caused by the failure.
