Overall Performance

Robustness studies on integrated urban public transport networks have attracted growing attention in recent years due to the significant influence on the overall performance of urban transport system. In this paper, topological properties and robustness of a bus–subway coupled network in Beijing, composed of both bus and subway networks as well as their interactions, are analyzed. Three new models depicting cascading failure processes on the coupled network are proposed based on an existing binary influence modeling approach. Simulation results show that the proposed models are more accurate than the existing method in reflecting actual passenger flow redistribution in the cascading failure process. Moreover, the traffic load influence between nodes also plays a vital role in the robustness of the network. The proposed models and derived results can be utilized to improve the robustness of integrated urban public transport systems in traffic planning.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are a set of tools that enable better and more efficient use of existing road infrastructure. They support the operation of transport systems in selected areas. ITS services are not only related to the improvement of cars traffic conditions but also to the functioning of urban public transport in the area of their impact. Thanks to the available ITS functions, supervision over the functioning of urban public transport has become easier and allows to achieve the intended effects in the form of increasing the importance of urban public transport (UPT) in transport systems of cities and agglomerations. Establishing transport priorities for UPT vehicles, closing streets for cars, supervising the movement of UPT vehicles, dynamic passenger information systems or immediate response to emergency situations is one of many available ITS functions in public transport. The article presents an analysis of the functioning of selected ITS services supporting the functioning of urban public transport in selected areas of the Silesian Voivodeship.
