Abstract

Rail transit is an important means of ensuring the sustainable development of urban transportation, but disturbance events caused by natural disasters, human factors, and other influences can lead to disruptions in rail transit operations. To cope with the impact of disturbance events on urban rail transit networks, and to explore the changes in rail transit network performance and recovery strategies under the influence of disturbance events from a resilience perspective, this paper overviews the existing research on resilience assessment and recovery strategies for urban rail transit networks. Firstly, the characteristics of the urban rail transit network and the model construction method are analyzed. Secondly, on the basis of combing the connotation development of system resilience, urban rail transit network resilience is defined, while the existing resilience metrics and assessment indexes are classified and summarized. Finally, the failure scenarios and recovery strategies of urban rail transportation network are deeply studied and discussed. The research results show that urban rail transit network resilience has been widely concerned by scholars, and certain results have been achieved in three aspects of resilience connotation, resilience assessment and recovery strategy. Nevertheless, further research is needed on these aspects. We propose future research directions that involve exploring modeling methods aligned with actual network topologies, developing unified indexes for resilience assessment and focusing on resilience assessment and recovery strategies under uncertain disturbance events. The research results can provide an important reference for the resilient operation and sustainable construction of urban rail transit.
