Abstract: Abstract With the rapid development of urban rail transit in China, how to make sure the safe operation of the urban rail transit system has been widely concerned. However, as a typical network structure, urban rail transit is composed of multiple stations. The importance of different sites on the whole network is also different. It is essential for the safe operation of the whole network by managing the significant stations. Therefore, this paper firstly uses the method of space L to establish the topological structure of the rail transit network. Secondly, based on the complex network theory, the five indicators—degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, passenger flow centrality and node property are used to evaluate the node importance of urban rail transit on the network. And then, an integrated model is used to identify the relative importance of nodes in urban rail transit. Finally, the case study is carried out in combination with China Chongqing Rail transit Line 3, which has important significance for the optimization of the urban rail transit network.
