ABSTRACT

Disruptions in the metro system often result in chaos in the public transport system given their substantial modal share in major metropolitan areas. Metro system disruption can be managed both within the system and by substitute bus (SB) service external to the system. Managing disruption within the metro system typically involves timetable adjustment, rolling stock scheduling, and crew rescheduling, subject to the rail system design and availability of crossovers for turnovers. SB service or bus bridging, on the other hand, is one prominent way to mitigate the negative impact of a metro disruption. In the past decade, research on this topic has grown substantially. In this paper, by conducting a comprehensive search in the Web of Science publications, we identify and review about 70 papers. According to the three aspects of metro system disruption management, we classify the literature into three groups: (i) getting prepared for metro network disruption, (ii) managing disruption within the metro system, and (iii) managing metro disruption with SB service. After summarising the state-of-the-art on this topic, we conclude by identifying gaps and future research directions, primarily on substitute bus service, for this important development effort.

摘要

考虑到地铁系统在主要大都市地区的巨大份额，地铁系统的混乱通常会导致公共交通系统的混乱。地铁系统中断既可以在系统内进行管理，也可以通过系统外部的备用总线（SB）服务进行管理。管理地铁系统内的干扰通常涉及时间表调整，机车车辆调度和机组人员调度，这要取决于铁路系统的设计和营业额交叉点的可用性。另一方面，SB服务或公交桥架是缓解地铁中断带来的负面影响的一种重要方式。在过去的十年中，有关此主题的研究已大大增加。在本文中，通过在Web of Science出版物中进行全面搜索，我们确定并审查了约70篇论文。根据地铁系统中断管理的三个方面，我们将文献分为三类：（i）为地铁网络中断做准备；（ii）管理地铁系统内的中断；以及（iii）使用SB服务管理地铁中断。在总结了有关该主题的最新技术之后，我们总结了这一重要的开发工作，确定了差距和未来的研究方向，主要是替代巴士服务。
