Abstract

[Objective] The resilience of transportation networks is a prominent research area in transportation safety. However, current studies on transportation network resilience often inadequately measure the changes in spatiotemporal travel costs for passengers, primarily focusing on the recovery phase rather than the resistance phase in two-stage resilience. There is also insufficient identification and analysis of critical segments, and a lack of suitable resilience simulation and evaluation methods for urban agglomeration railway passenger transport networks. This paper proposes a resistance resilience assessment model and a resistance resilience simulation evaluation process for urban agglomeration railway passenger transport networks centered on spatiotemporal accessibility for passengers. The aim is to evaluate the resistance resilience of these networks and identify critical segments. [Methods] This paper explores the concepts of resistance resilience and recovery resilience within transportation networks. Utilizing the complex network Space L modeling method, this paper develops a spatiotemporal weighted urban agglomeration railway passenger transport network model that considers actual railway passenger stations as network nodes. Segment interruption scenarios were simulated using attack modes involving single segment deletion and multiple segment continuous deletion. A dynamic resistance resilience evaluation index termed the network performance retention rate, was introduced based on the performance response function and spatiotemporal accessibility of passengers. This paper devises a resistance resilience assessment model and simulation evaluation process to evaluate the substitutability of segments and the overall network resistance resilience. The Chengdu—Chongqing urban agglomeration was selected as a case study to identify and compare critical segments and resistance resilience across unweighted, spatially weighted, and temporally weighted railway networks. [Results] The results of this paper were as follows: (1) The interruption of critical segments near railway hub cities could lead to a maximum network performance loss of 12.23%. It was necessary to identify critical segments through predisaster simulations. (2) Significant differences were found in the critical segments identified through resistance resilience simulations across unweighted, spatially weighted, and temporally weighted railway networks. The Spearman correlation coefficient indicated a relatively poor correlation between the critical segment rankings of unweighted and weighted railway networks. (3) The resistance resilience indices of the three railway networks highlighted that single segment interruptions significantly affected travel time. (4) Continuous interruption of identified critical segments severely affected network performance, with temporally weighted railway networks experiencing a stronger impact than spatially weighted and unweighted railway networks. Predisaster simulations solely based on topological structure or spatial distance might underestimate the consequences of risk interference. [Conclusions] The methods proposed in this paper address the gap in targeted research on the resistance resilience of railway passenger transport networks in urban agglomerations. Simulations of single segment interruption and multiple segment continuous interruption enable the identification and verification of key network segments. Additionally, analyzing the network resistance to interruptions provides a scientific foundation for transportation network planning and decision-making. Furthermore, analyzing the network's resilience evaluation index of the network performance retention rate proposed in this paper offsets the impact of disturbance time uncertainty, providing a scientific foundation for transportation network resilience research.
