Safety Resilience Evaluation of Urban Public Bus Based on Comprehensive Weighting Method and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method

Abstract

In this paper, a novel concept of resilience measuring the urban bus transport safety was proposed based on a new urban bus route resilience evaluation system (UBRRES). In UBRRES, the preliminary evaluation framework and its main indicators were firstly determined by combining a novel systematic review of the literature (SLR) method and the expert advices. Then, under this framework, a comprehensive weighting method (CWM), which combined the idea of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and entropy evaluation method (EVM), was proposed to calculate the weights of the indicators. Consequently, a macroevaluation model was established. Based on this model, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method was applied to obtain the resilience scores. Finally, the proposed UBRRES method was applied in the actual 663 bus line across the Fengtai and Shijingshan district, Beijing, China, by which the applicability of UBRRES was verified.
