BeijingBus, Urban rail transit / YesDo not define load, and achieve similar effect with the load-capacity model through the binary influence model-Normal state, Failure stateThere is no direct load redistribution process. It defines the impact of the failure station on the adjacent station by defining the special influence coefficient.Coupled network constructed by BTN and URTNBus station and urban rail transit station are coupled by considering that the upper bound of walking distance is 0.8 km between two stations.Ratio of station cascading failuresImplementing station state transitions by adjusting the influence strength parameter of binary influence modelThe topological characteristics of each sub-network and coupled network are analyzed and the three parameters describing the characteristics of the coupled network are given. Then, the binary influence model is used to simulate the feedback process and cascading failures behavior of the coupled model.

BeijingBus, Urban rail transit / YesDirectly define it as station betweennessStation capacity is proportional to station initial loadNormal state, Overload stateFailure station induces load adjustments of adjacent stations and interdependent stations, and the Gini coefficient proposed by Morris et al.[118] is used to describe the difference in edge load redistribution.Coupled network constructed by BTN and URTNIt declares that some of bus stations and urban rail transit stations are coupled, but no clear coupled method is declared.Network efficiencyAttack one single station that has the largest load, Attack one single route of URTN that has the largest load, Attack one single station that is randomly selected from bus transit network, Attack one single station that is randomly selected from URTNBased on the three attack types: maximum load node attacks, maximum load edge attacks, and random attacks, the cascading failures process of the coupled network is simulated, thus getting that the network efficiency is found to have an unbalanced phase change in a low-capacity network.

Beijing, Shanghai, HangzhouBus / Yes (bus transit transfer network, and bus transit geographical network)Directly define it as edge weightStation capacity is proportional to station initial load(edge) Normal state, Failure stateRedistribution based on the proportion of adjacent edge loadDouble layered network coupled by bus transit transfer network and bus transit geographical networkThe same numbered stations in the two sub-networks are interdependent with each other, because the interdependent network are coupled by two abstracted network representations of one same bus transit network.Normalized avalanche sizeAttack the edge that has the largest loadSimulation analysis of three urban BTNs shows that the passenger flow of the logical layer (bus transit transfer network) influences the edge load distribution of the physical layer (bus transit geographical network). Additionally, to remove the edge with maximum load may cause physical layer cascade failures, and the normalized avalanche size is negatively related to the edge load tolerance parameter.

BeijingBus, Urban rail transit / YesDefine edge load as edge weight (i.e., average daily passenger flow)Define it as a nonlinear function, i.e., a chaotic Logistics mapNormal state, Failure stateRedistribution based on the proportion of connected edge weights between the failure station and its adjacent stationsCoupled network constructed by BTN and URTNNo clear coupled method is declared.Cumulative failure proportion, Failure proportionAttack one single station that is randomly selected, Attack one single station that has the largest degree or strengthA cascading failures model of weighted network based on the coupled map lattice (CML) is proposed, and it can get the conclusions that the dynamic passenger flow redistribution can significantly improve the PTN resilience under random attacks; the threshold of topological and flow coupled strength in the failure spreading process can be used as an effective strategy for controlling cascading failures.

ChengduBus, Urban rail transit / YesMaximum passenger flow of subway route at the peak hour in 2020 predicted by Jin et al.[120] is taken as the initial load of the edges between stations.Define station capacity based on the designed transit capacity of the route (one-way transit capacity at peak hour for capacity)Normal state, Failure stateShortest path redistributionCoupled network constructed by BTN and URTNBus station and urban rail transit station are coupled by considering that the upper bound of distance is 0.5 km between two stations.Average overload coefficient of failure edge, Network failure degreeAttack one single route of URTN in each simulation experiment, and each route will be conducted a simulation experiment respectively.It simulates and analyzes the process of spreading, diffusion and cascading failures of blocked passengers under sudden accidents, so that the matching degree of emergency coordination ability between subway routes and bus routes in coupled networks is evaluated, thus providing a basis for effectively coping with the overload of coupled networks.
