This book addresses the current development status of high-speed railway systems and analyzes their operating characteristics in emergencies. It covers methods and problem-solving schemes with regard to complexity analysis, capacity evaluation, passenger-flow forecasts, operating strategies, passenger-flow allocation, resource allocation and supporting system technologies in the context of serious accidents and possible environmental influences on high-speed railways. The scenarios, emergent events and corresponding methods, schemes and theoretical models are all real-world cases related to Chinese high-speed railways, making the book both theoretically rigorous and practically applicable. It not only helps readers consider a number of observed facts from the perspective of complexity science, but also provides them with a philosophy and framework to construct their own research roadmap and problem-solving paradigms in their daily management work. This book is intended for researchers, postgraduate students and engineers in railway-related fields, especially in railway operation and management.weiterlesen
