Abstract:
Critical infrastructure networks such as transportation networks, power grids, internet, etc. play a crucial role in the economic development of a country and also in the well-being of its citizens. Hence, it is crucial to understand how the failure of the components in such a network affects the performance and integrity of the whole network. The paper also proposes a flow redistribution mechanism incorporating geographic proximities to distribute the load on the failed or removed nodes. Two vulnerability indicators: network efficiency and accessibility have been used to measure the failure consequences in the network after node removals. The proposed framework for vulnerability analysis has been applied to a real world urban transit rail network, a bus network and a combined rapid transit-bus network to test its validity. The results from the study can help to gain foresight in safety management and can thus help to protect the system before failure/harm occurs.
