A convenient urban transportation network facilitates a high-quality life and a high-growth economy. Due to cascading failures being a ticklish question triggering continuous road congestion, the maintenance plan is momentous to restore the urban transportation network. Considering fault edges are removed and cars slowly drive out of these edges to ease traffic congestion, a traffic distribution model is proposed to analyze the cascading failures process. To resume the transportation network, this paper proposes a maintenance optimization with minimizing maintenance time. It recovers the cascading failures from two perspectives: the intra-area maintenance model and the inter-area maintenance model. At last, a transportation network of a city in China is regarded as a case study to illuminate the feasibility of the proposed models. The results show that on the premise of dividing traffic areas, it is reasonable to adopt the intra-area maintenance plan for cascading failures. Compared with the previous travel data, the inter-area maintenance plan saves more time.

Drinking Water Supply Service is considered vital in all societies, modern and old. As for all vital services, governance undertakes all possible measures to guarantee their supply continuity. However, severe service supply disruptions may occur under the action of threats, series of failures cascading or any combination of them. Threats may be nature originated: climatic extreme conditions, earthquakes, floods. It may also be man originated: ill-informed managing actions, organisational misconduct or malevolence. As for failures, it can be humans or simply systemic: unproven technology, fatigue, ageing, overloading or operational hazards. Whatever the origins of the disruptions, societies conceive legislations, standards and processes in order to enhance the resilience of the vital service supply systems and the correspondent critical infrastructures. They provide appropriate R&D frames and assets, amongst others, in order to conduct activities on critical infrastructures resilience modelling, simulation and analysis (MS&A). The paper contributes into the development of a resilience concept and a methodology for integrating cascades of failures to help in crisis management decision making. The proposed methodology is applied on a case study belonging to the drinking Water Supply Services and its critical infrastructures.

The reliability of network systems of various structures has been studied by many researchers. However, most of the works just consider the reliability of a single network system. In practice, different networks may be interdependent such that the failure in one network may result in the failure in another network. The cascading failures have been shown to be catastrophic by some researchers. However, the quantitative evaluation for the reliability of interdependent networks has not been proposed. In this paper, a multi-valued decision diagram based approach is presented to evaluate the reliability of interdependent networks. Illustrative examples are proposed to demonstrate the application of the framework.

Niezawodność systemów sieciowych o różnych strukturach stanowi przedmiot licznych badań. Jednak większość prac dotyczy tylko niezawodności pojedynczych systemów sieciowych. W praktyce, różne sieci mogą działać współzależnie, tak iż awaria jednej może powodować awarię innej sieci. Niektóre badania pokazują, że uszkodzenia kaskadowe są uszkodzeniami katastroficznymi. Nie zaproponowano jednak dotąd ilościowej oceny niezawodności współzależnych sieci. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono podejście oparte na koncepcji wielowartościowego diagramu decyzyjnego, które pozwala na ocenę niezawodności wzajemnie zależnych sieci. Przedstawiono przykłady ilustrujące zastosowanie proponowanego paradygmatu.
