The sustainable development evaluation of urban rail transit investment project is an important component of its post-evaluation. It is a complicated problem with multi-aspects, multi-levels, and multi-objectives involving the society, economy and environment and so on. Firstly it analyses the necessity of sustainable development evaluation of urban rail transit investment project and describes its concept, then discusses and expounds the multilevel evaluation index, and establishes the evaluation model of sustainable development for urban rail transit based on rough set and analytic hierarchy process. Finally, the result indicates that this evaluation method based on rough set is a simple and feasible method for the sustainable development evaluation on urban rail transit investment project.

In order to improve the objectivity of urban rail transit network evaluation and achieve the sub-file of quality level of preliminary planning, a comprehensive evaluation method for urban rail transit network was proposed based on TOPSIS, then the evaluation model of urban rail transit network was constructed. This method was applied to Xian urban rail transit network planning. The result shows that case-4 is best one among the four urban rail transit network planning of Xian and consistent with the passenger flow prediction. The evaluation model for urban rail transit network based on TOPSIS is objective, which involves few parameters, simple operation, science evaluation and provides a basis of decision for urban rail transit network planning.

Urban rail transit (URT) systems are critical to modern public transportation services. Unfortunately, disruptions in URT systems can lead to dysfunction and threaten sustainable development. This study analyses URT network sustainability from a vulnerability perspective. Two network attack scenarios, including random attacks and intentional attacks, are designed to assess different kinds of disruptions to URT networks. Under random attacks, nodes are randomly removed from the network. In contrast, under intentional attacks, key nodes are identified and removed based on topological metrics and passenger flow volume. Then, URT network vulnerability is evaluated by quantifying the changes in network efficiency and structural integrity under the network attacks from a spatio-temporal point of view. The real-world case of the Shanghai URT system from 1993 to 2020 is used to illustrate the vulnerability in the evolution of the URT system. The results indicate that the URT network is increasingly fault-tolerant and structurally robust over time. The URT network is more vulnerable to intentional attacks than to random failures. Additionally, there are significant spatial differences in the vulnerability of Shanghai URT network. Stations in the central activity zone (CAZ) are more fault-tolerant and robust than stations located outside of the CAZ. Furthermore, stations with large centrality and greater passenger flow volumes and lines with many key nodes and greater passenger flow volumes, are vulnerable to disruptions in the URT networks. This study provides a new index to comprehensively quantify node centrality; it also fills a research gap by analysing the vulnerability of URT networks based on both longitudinal and spatial patterns. Finally, this paper highlights significant practical implications for the sustainable development of URT networks, as well as the sustainable development of public transportation services.

Urban rail transit (URT) is closely related to the sustainable development of the city. In addition to the traffic improvements, it also brings social and economic benefits. From the perspective of sustainability, we discuss the effect of urban rail transit on financing constraints of companies listed on the China A-share stock market (A-share, common stocks issued by companies registered in China for domestic institutions, organizations or individuals to subscribe and trade in RMB) and further explore whether the level of financial development has an effect on the above relationship. The results show that: (1) Financing constraints are common among sample enterprises, and the later the opening year of urban rail transit, the greater the degree of financing constraints; (2) The development of urban rail transit is beneficial to alleviate the level of financing constraints of listed companies, and this mitigating effect mainly exists in the samples with high relevance to urban rail transit; (3) The higher the level of financial development, the smaller the degree of corporate financing constraints; (4) Financial development may influence the relationship between financing constraints and urban rail transit. With the improvement of the financial development level, the alleviating effect of urban rail transit on corporate financing constraints is less pronounced. This study gives some references to improve the financing constraints of listed companies and for promoting the sustainable development of urban rail transit.

Seismic damage was the key reason which resulted in the serviceability degradation or collapse of the bridge. How to quantify the seismic damage and evaluate the seismic performance of the bridge under earthquakes through the damage analysis was the significant research direction in the performance based seismic design. In this paper the Park-Ang model (a well-known dual parameters model) and its modification version used for the damage evaluation of the concrete structure were compared. Furthermore, through the definition of the damage indices of the models based on the modified Park-Ang model and the descending slope of the IDA(incremental dynamic analysis) curve, the seismic damage levels of the typical bridge in the urban rail transit line under the designated earthquakes were analyzed, respectively. It was shown from the results that the calculated results from the two model was essentially consistent. The damage analysis based evaluation method was feasibly used for the seismic performance evaluation of the bridge.

Although the innovation factor endowment of Heilongjiang province is relatively rich, many innovation resources cannot effectively promote the sustainable development of innovation-driven performance. The combined drift degree evaluation method and grey-DEMATEL model were used to study regional innovation performance in Heilongjiang province and the key factors influencing it. The results of this study show that the overall trend of regional innovation performance is slowly rising. Compared with other regions, the level of science and technology output is in the forefront, and the level of economic output and social effect is at the end. The innovation performance level of enterprises and research institutions is at the end position, showing a trend of slow rise and then slow decline. The innovation performance level of universities is in the middle position, showing a trend of rising first, then falling and then rising. The degree of marketization, the financial environment, the intellectual property system, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and the level of human capital are the core factors that affect the regional innovation performance. The dominant position and leading role of regional enterprises and the cooperation between industry, university and research institutes should be strengthened through government policies.
