“…Oriol Lordan et al compared the performances of several node selection indicators, together with a new indicator based on Bonacich power centrality. Identified the critical airports for the global ATN of November 2011-November 2012 [15]. Irina Petreska et al started from the similarity of structural dynamics and complex networks, the network node/link busy degree is proposed on the basis of the modal equation, which could be used as the measure of vulnerability reflecting the influence on neighboring nodes [25].…”

“…Besides, synthetic measures combining K i , B i , N e is put forward based on the weighted method [16] and AHP method [32]. Oriol Lordan summarized the existing research the effectiveness (measured in terms of reduction of the size of the giant component of has been compared) attacks based on five different measures: degree, betweenness, modal analysis, damage and Bonacich power [15]. However, the above method only assesses the importance of node from the perspective of structure without considering the node connectivity reliability.…”

“…Due to the operability of vulnerability assessment, scholars have carried out extensive research on the vulnerability analysis of traffic networks. Based on the theory of vulnerability, scholars have studied the actual road network, public transportation network and rail transit network [7,[12][13][14][15][16][17]. In addition, simulations are applied to the actual road network, route network and logistics network.…”

Abstract:In the context of the urban agglomeration and the rapid development of rail transit, the planning of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region (BTHR) rail transit 2020 is attracting attention. The BTHR is a natural disaster-prone area and a high-risk area for terrorist attacks; the robustness of the area is critical to the sustainable development of North China. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the vulnerability of the regional planning rail transit network. This paper builds a model of planning regional rail transit in BTHR. A critical node recognition measure is designed according to the connectivity reliability of nodes. The method of Monte Carlo simulation of node connectivity reliability is applied based on link connectivity probability. In addition, a model of detecting multi-measure recognition and detecting Core-Nodes is proposed. Finally, the paper analyzes the impact of multiple attack modes on the network performance from the aspects of network performance within region and transit demand outside the region, and analyzes the vulnerability of the BTHR planning rail transit network.

“…A number of studies are devoted to measuring the robustness of such networks against a malicious attack or against a random degradation failure causing deletion of a node or of a connection. Such measures are used to increase security of complex systems and where possible, like in computer networks, to increase robustness, for example, by rewiring optimization [7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Usually, the existence of a complex network is considered an advantage feature and efforts are made to increase its robustness against an attack. However, there exist also harmful and/or malicious networks, from social ones like spreading hoax, corruption, phishing, extremist ideology, and terrorist support up to computer networks spreading computer viruses or DDoS attack software or even biological networks of carriers or transport centers spreading disease among the population. New attack strategy can be therefore used against malicious networks, as well as in a worst-case scenario test for robustness of a useful network. A common measure of robustness of networks is their disintegration level after removal of a fraction of nodes. This robustness can be calculated as a ratio of the number of nodes of the greatest remaining network component against the number of nodes in the original network. Our paper presents a combination of heuristics optimized for an attack on a complex network to achieve its greatest disintegration. Nodes are deleted sequentially based on a heuristic criterion. Efficiency of classical attack approaches is compared to the proposed approach on Barabási-Albert, scale-free with tunable power-law exponent, and Erdős-Rényi models of complex networks and on real-world networks. Our attack strategy results in a faster disintegration, which is counterbalanced by its slightly increased computational demands.

“…This analysis can be of interest to deepen the knowledge of the logic of airline business models. It can be also of interest for operational issues, since network configuration is a key feature in the resilience of airlines facing unintended network failures and intended attacks Lordan, Sallan, Simo & Gonzalez-Prieto, 2014; In press).…”

Abstract:Purpose: The network strategies used by airline carriers have been a recurring subject in air transport research. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the different operational characteristics of the airline and its route network configuration.Design/methodology/approach: The two main airline carrier typologies -Full-Service and Low-Cost carriers -are analysed using empirical models developed on complex network research relating them to the business model of the airlines.Findings and Originality/value: Just in Europe, one can differentiate between Full-Service and Low-Cost Carriers by complex network analyses. In this process, it has been also found that new concept Low-Cost Carriers, such as Vueling, have network properties closer to Full-Service Carriers. Research limitations/implications:This paper has a limited sample, as includes 26 airline case studies from Europe, United States and Asia. Practical implications:The analysis carried out in this research can help to the assessment of the evolution of the strategies of airline carriers, and has also operational implications, since the configuration of an airline route network can determine its resilience to attacks and errors.-1112-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -http://dx.doi.org/10.3926/jiem.1191Social implications: A better understanding of the properties of airline route networks can benefit airlines, passengers and another stakeholders of the air transport industry. Originality/value: Current research on air transport networks has only considered the global or regional level, but few studies have addressed the study of airline transport networks, and its relationship with their business model.
