Analysis on Cascading Failure Propagation in Logistics System under Emergency

Cascading failures are found on many real nature and artificial complex networks. The logistics system is a complex and dynamical system, which is composed of several interactive sub-networks, including business network, traffic network and information network. And these sub-networks form a multi-coupled network architecture. So it also takes place on logistics networks. Based on the theory of cascading failure, this paper analyses the failure propagation mechanism in the logistics system under emergency, and provides a strong theoretical support for taking comprehensive and rational measures for enterprise managers.
