Abstract

Menezes and Barabasi have once developed a framework by mean–variance analysis to investigate the relationship between the average flux and fluctuations and found a scaling-law behavior in two distinct phase. By then most related researches dedicated to understanding the scaling laws through the internal/external forces of the system. However, as for subway system, the demand of transporting a large amount of passengers during peak hours is a necessity. Thus, alternating the phase or reducing the impact of external forces by cutting down the total passengers is completely unrealistic. The more operable approaches are specifically regulating the distribution of passenger flow in order to drive the system into a more stable phase. In this paper, we carried out the mean–variance analysis on subway traffic and dedicated to discover the effect of spatial–temporal distributions of passenger flow on the fluctuations in subway traffic. By analyzing the control properties of the transit networks constructed according to different passenger flow threshold, it is found that the control mode of transit networks might differ the phase change of fluctuations, which proposed a new perspective of controlling the fluctuations in subway traffic.
