Abstract

Urban Underground Logistics Systems (UULS) have become an emerging solution to mitigate urban surface traffic congestion, environmental pollution, and surface transport safety risks. However, during the operation of UULS, the use of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) introduces cybersecurity risks to the system. Moreover, severe natural disasters can also cause damage to underground transportation network links. Existing research and planning primarily concentrate on the system design and benefits of UULS, neglecting the system's service level under attack scenarios. This study outlines three representative UULS network prototypes and proposes a resilience quantification method centered on logistics efficiency. It also focuses on comparing the effectiveness of three recovery strategies. These strategies give priority to maximum flow, betweenness centrality, and regional importance, as well as the priority of node and link repairs. The resilience quantification method and recovery strategies are applied in a case study set in Nanjing City. The case study results reveal that the Two-echelon network shows exceptional resilience. Regarding the effectiveness of recovery strategies, the strategy based on maximum flow proves to be the most effective, and focusing on node repair can lead to higher system resilience. Based on these findings, this study offers recommendations to transportation and logistics management decision-makers, focusing on UULS resilience and recovery strategy selection. These recommendations are intended to provide valuable guidance for the planning and design of future UULS, ensuring their resilience and reliability.
