Abstract

Network reliability reflects a system’s ability to perform specified functions under specified topological and traffic conditions. Network reliability is the weighted sum of connection reliability and travel time reliability. Based on complex network theory, a new method was proposed to calculate the travel time reliability of road networks. The topology model of a regional highway network in China was built using the dual method. After a random attack or deliberate attack, node sizes in the sub-network can be used to reflect the node importance for network connection reliability. Some conclusions were drawn after the change in travel time coefficient and delay coefficient. The increases in the two coefficients will accelerate the decrease of travel time reliability of the highway network. After a comparison among three methods of travel time reliability, including variation coefficient, the misery indexes, and the new equation, the new method was further verified. The influence factors of highway network reliability were analyzed under the condition of different highway blockage and congestion.
