Abstract: In order to evaluate vulnerability of rail transit network in emergencies accurately and improve ability of resisting network risks, based on research of rail transit topology vulnerability, actual passenger flow in network and connecting effect of public transport on passenger flow under scenario of station failure was consided, a vulnerability assessment model was constructed based on average travel time loss of passengers, taking Shanghai Metro network as an example. At the same time, vulnerability of rail transit network under different bus connection efficiency was analyzed. The results show that under bus connection scenarios, stations with high time weighted degree and passengers weighted betweenness will cause more average travel time loss once these stations failed. In the actual emergency connection management, priority should be given to these stations. In addition, the higher the bus connection efficiency is, the lower the vulnerability of rail transit network will be. When connection efficiency is higher than 0.4, the average travel time loss of passengers can be reduced to less than 5%.
