Disruption of the important links and nodes at urban rail transit networks may result in operational interruption of the entire line. The paper focuses on the vulnerability analysis of urban rail transit networks under the condition of line failure. In consideration of the particularity in actual operation of urban rail transit systems, we establish a model to evaluate the influence of entire line disruption. By implementing different attack schemes, the measurement indicators of network connectivity and OD connectivity can be calculated by simulation. Finally, a case study on Shenzhen urban rail transit network is carried out to conduct the network vulnerability analysis.
