Stochastic Risk Assessment with a Lagrangian Solution for the Optimal Cost Allocation in High-Speed Rail Networks

In large-scale high-speed rail networks (HSRNs), the occurrence of occasional malfunctions or accidents is unavoidable.The key issue considered in this study is the optimal allocation of the maintenance costs, based on the stochastic risk assessment for HSRNs.Inspired by Mop Racks the theoretical risk evaluation methods in the complex network, thre
