A Fault Tolerance Optimization Model of the China Railway Geographic Network Topological Structure

Abstract EN

With degree distribution characteristics of the China Railway geographic network, an optimization model from macro to micro is established on the relative entropy.

Firstly, Poisson distribution of the China Railway geographic network is verified and fitted.

Secondly, the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” of the railway geographic network is chosen as an example on which a macro model is built.

Finally, the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” of Guangzhou Railway Group’s geographic network is chosen as the other example on which a micro model is built and our optimization scheme is proposed.

Results reveal that, for improving the railway network fault tolerance, from the macroscopic aspect the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” railway network should strengthen the railway agglomeration degree; then the microscopic optimization model is able to improve the fault tolerance effectively.
