Abstract
In daily operation, urban rail transit (URT) systems often experience disturbances that result in a partial reduction in transport capacity [partial disturbances (PDs)] rather than disturbances leading to a complete reduction in transport capacity. However, research that assesses the resilience of URT networks under PDs remains limited. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a passenger-oriented resilience assessment model for URT networks under PDs, considering the travel behaviors of passengers and different relations (i.e., linear, concave, and convex) between the velocity coefficient and failure severity. A simulation-based assessment approach was developed to solve the resilience assessment model. A numerical experiment was conducted on the Chengdu subway network in China. The results demonstrate that the performance indicator employed herein reflects the impact of passenger travel time distribution on network performance. Deliberate PDs cause more significant performance losses than random PDs. Moreover, the network is the least resilient under PDs considering the convex relation between the velocity coefficient and failure severity. The resilience-based critical link of each line is not fixed and varies with the failure severity and disturbance occurrence time. Increasing the failure severity of PDs results in more severe performance losses than increasing the number of PDs. Additionally, the passenger-oriented resilience of a URT network can be enhanced by improving the passengers’ tolerable delay time and disturbance duration.
