A Grade Identification Method of Critical Node in Urban Road Network Based on Multi-Attribute Evaluation Correction

Abstract

Accurately identifying the key nodes of the road network and focusing on its management and control is an important means to improve the robustness and invulnerability of the road network. In this paper, a classification and identification method of key nodes in urban road networks based on multi-attribute evaluation and modification was proposed. Firstly, the emergency function guarantee grade of road network nodes was divided by comprehensively considering the importance of road network nodes, the consequences of failure, and the degree of difficulty of recovery. The evaluation indexes were selected according to the local attributes, global attributes, and functional attributes of the road network topology. The spatial distribution patterns of the evaluation indexes of the nodes were analyzed. The dynamic classification method was used to cluster the attributes of the road network nodes, and the TOPSIS method was used to comprehensively evaluate the importance ranking of the road network nodes. Attribute clustering of road network nodes by dynamic classification method (DT) and the TOPSIS method was used to comprehensively evaluate the ranking of the importance of road network nodes. Then, combined with the modification of the comprehensive evaluation and ranking of the importance of the road network nodes, the emergency function support classification results of the road network nodes were obtained. Finally, the method was applied to the road network within the second Ring Road of Beijing. It was compared with the clustering method of self-organizing competitive neural networks. The results show that this method can identify the key nodes of the road network more accurately. The first-grade key nodes are all located at the more important intersections on expressways and trunk roads. The spatial distribution pattern shows a “center-edge” pattern, and the important traffic corridors of the road network show a “five vertical and five horizontal” pattern.
