Resilience of air Transport Network with the Complementary Effects of High-Speed Rail Network

Air transport network (ATN) is always described as an unweighted and independent network when assessing its resilience in previous literatures. However, the complementary effects (CE) of high-speed rail network (HSRN) on ATN becomes more and more obvious. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel method to assess the resilience of ATN by taking it as a time-weighted network which is complemented by HSRN. Furthermore, via a case study of ATN in China, we find the complementary effects of HSRN and its different level can exert dramatic influence on ATN resilience.
