通常的可靠性理论难以有效分析城市轨道交通网络的可靠性。鉴于复杂网络理论对大量现实网络买证研究的有效性,以及城市轨道交通网络作为现实世界网络的典型实例与其他网络具有相似性,应将城市轨道交通网络相关问题的研究归为复杂网络的研究范畴.引入复杂网络的可靠性测度指标,从网络的适应性、稳定性和有效性三方面来构建城市轨道交通网络可靠性的衡量指标,将原先基于设施设备的可靠性研究拓展至基于交通系统管理者和使用者的全局性研究.
Conventional reliability theories are difficult to perform a successful analysis on urban rail transit network reliability. Since the complex network theory is effective for the research of real networks, and urban rail network is a typical example similar to other networks, the study on relative problems of urban transit network should be included in the extent of the research of complex networks. By introducing the measure of reliability, establishing the reliability criterion for urban rail transit network in terms of the adaptability, stability, validity of network, the research can be developed from local study based on infrastructure and equipment to global study based on managers and users of communication system.
