Abstract

Low-altitude transportation offers innovative solutions to alleviate urban congestion while reshaping urban transportation structures. This shift is likely to impact the resilience of urban multi-modal transportation (UMT) networks, requiring new methods for effective assessment. This paper develops a constrained clustering model with neighborhood search, considering points of interest (POI) distribution, passenger flow and flight distance limit, to determine potential vertiport locations. Based on location selection results and existing public transportation structure, a multi-modal transportation network is constructed. Subsequently, percolation theory is employed to assess the UMT network resilience across various cascading failure scenarios. The results indicate that the integration of urban air mobility (UAM) can significantly enhance network connectivity by providing alternative pathways during emergencies. The findings of this study highlight the potential of UAM to strengthen UMT resilience, offering valuable insights for urban transportation design and management.

综合城市空中交通的多式联运网络弹性评估

低空交通为缓解城市拥堵提供了创新的解决方案，同时重塑了城市交通结构。这种转变可能会影响城市多式联运（UMT）网络的弹性，需要新的有效评估方法。本文提出了一种基于邻域搜索的约束聚类模型，考虑了兴趣点分布、客流和飞行距离限制，以确定潜在的垂直机场位置。基于区位选择结果和现有公共交通结构，构建多式联运网络。随后，运用渗流理论对不同级联故障场景下UMT网络的弹性进行了评估。结果表明，城市空中交通（UAM）的集成可以通过在紧急情况下提供替代路径来显著增强网络连通性。本研究的结果强调了UAM在增强城市交通弹性方面的潜力，为城市交通设计和管理提供了有价值的见解。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions. Part A''s aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review. Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
