Vulnerability and robustness of interdependent transport networks in north-western Italy

چکیده
Abstract Infrastructure networks have become increasingly complex, whose progressively higher levels of interdependence make them even more vulnerable. This empirical analysis based on the Morandi bridge collapse examines robustness and vulnerability motorway railway in north-western Italy. By following a network topology-based approach, motorways railways are studied as one single interconnected multi-layer transport infrastructure. Based concepts geographic functional study provides insight into which nodes (and links) should be restored quickly possible when an emergency destructive event renders inaccessible. Moreover, it highlights greater fragility intermodal opens up debate regulation coordination restoring measures carried out by relevant authorities.

Vulnerability of Interdependent Networks and Networks of Networks
Networks interact with one another in a variety of ways. Even though increased connectivity between networks would tend to make the system more robust, if dependencies exist between networks, these systems are highly vulnerable to random failure or attack. Damage in one network causes damage in another. This leads to cascading failures which amplify the original damage and can rapidly lead to c...
متن کاملRobustness in Interdependent Networks MMath CD
The field of network science has seen massive growth in the last 15 years. Tools have been developed to study the properties of abstract networks, as well as problems involving real-world systems. One such problem concerns the robustness of a network: how well the network continues to function when parts of its structure are destroyed. A rapidly emerging area of network science is the study of ...
متن کاملRobustness of interdependent networks under targeted attack
When an initial failure of nodes occurs in interdependent networks, a cascade of failure between the networks occurs. Earlier studies focused on random initial failures. Here we study the robustness of interdependent networks under targeted attack on high or low degree nodes. We introduce a general technique which maps the targeted-attack problem in interdependent networks to the random-attack ...
متن کاملThe robustness of interdependent clustered networks
It was recently found that cascading failures can cause the abrupt breakdown of a system of interdependent networks. Using the percolation method developed for single clustered networks by Newman [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 058701 (2009)], we develop an analytical method for studying how clustering within the networks of a system of interdependent networks affects the system’s robustness. We find th...
متن کاملAssortativity Decreases the Robustness of Interdependent Networks
It was recently recognized that interdependencies among different networks can play a crucial role in triggering cascading failures and, hence, systemwide disasters. A recent model shows how pairs of interdependent networks can exhibit an abrupt percolation transition as failures accumulate. We report on the effects of topology on failure propagation for a model system consisting of two interde...
