Resumen
Based on the complex network theory, we established a topological network of the Beijing subway under Space L, Space P, and Space C. Then, we analyzed the complex characteristics of the subway network under each topological network, proposed the global impact indexes (including aggregation impact coefficient, path length impact coefficient, network efficiency impact coefficient, and connectivity impact coefficient), and interline impact indexes (including degree centrality impact coefficient, near-centrality impact coefficient and intermediate centrality impact coefficient, the higher the value, the more obvious the effect on other lines; degree centrality sensitivity coefficient, near-centrality sensitivity coefficient and intermediate centrality sensitivity coefficient, the higher the value, the more vulnerable to the impact of other lines). At the global and local levels, it is possible to analyze the effect of different lines on the global situation and other lines. The concept of the ?line importance index? is proposed to identify the key lines in the Beijing subway network. The network is characterized by scale-free and small-world characteristics under Space P, and scale-free network characteristics but no small-world characteristics under Space L and Space C. Subway Line 10, Line 9, Line 1, Line 2, and Line 5 are the five subway lines with the highest importance. Subway Line S1, Changping Line, Xijiao Line, Capital Airport Line, and Daxing International Airport Line are the five subway lines with the lowest importance.
