Abstract: After a major disaster, network systems often face multiple difficulties such as limited time, capital, and resources. Traditional research on recovery after failure often lacks a targeted combination of node maintenance and edge maintenance, which may lead to a situation in which the maintenance cannot be conducted in a timely manner. This paper provides the key factors that affect the stability of the network by the intrinsic associations between nodes and edges in the network, and presents a failure recovery process for network systems. A collaborative approach to the maintenance of nodes and edges in networks is also analyzed. The proposed methods are demonstrated through four different urban transportation networks. Results show that edge failure does not always cause node failure, and node maintenance has a greater impact on network stability than edge maintenance.
