The complexity of coupled risks, which refer to the compounded effects of interacting uncertainties across multiple interdependent objectives, is inherent to cities functioning as dynamic, interdependent systems. A disruption in one domain ripples across various urban systems, often with unforeseen consequences. Central to this complexity are people, whose behaviors, needs, and vulnerabilities shape risk evolution and response effectiveness. Realizing cities as complex systems centered on human needs and behaviors is essential to understanding the complexities of coupled urban risks. This paper adopts a complex systems perspective to examine the intricacies of coupled urban risks, emphasizing the critical role of human decisions and behavior in shaping these dynamics. We focus on two key dimensions: cascading hazards in urban environments and cascading failures across interdependent exposed systems in cities. Existing risk assessment models often fail to capture the complexity of these processes, particularly when factoring in human decision-making. To tackle these challenges, we advocate for a standardized taxonomy of cascading hazards, urban components, and their interactions. At its core is a people-centric perspective, emphasizing the bidirectional interactions between people and the systems that serve them. Building on this foundation, we argue the need for an integrated, people-centric risk assessment framework that evaluates event impacts in relation to the hierarchical needs of people and incorporates their preparedness and response capacities. By leveraging real-time data, advanced simulations, and innovative validation methods, this framework aims to enhance the accuracy of coupled urban risk modeling. To effectively manage coupled urban risks, cities can draw from proven strategies in real complex systems. However, given the escalating uncertainties and complexities associated with climate change, prioritizing people-centric strategies is crucial. This ap

Vehicle scheduling plays a crucial role in public transport bus companies. An efficient schedule can help bus companies reduce operating costs while being an essential guide to daily operations. However, the precompiled schedule is usually hard to be adhered to in practice due to the diversity of traffic and driving conditions. Therefore, dynamic vehicle scheduling becomes an important supplement to the daily operations. In this paper, a dynamic vehicle scheduling approach based on Hierarchical Task Network(HTN) is proposed. In the approach, two dynamic vehicle scheduling strategies are devised according to the practical scheduling philosophy. The first is to reschedule for individual vehicle independently, the objective is to maximize the execution of the precompiled schedule. The second is to reschedule for multiple vehicles simultaneously, which aims to maintain the scheduled headways. The two strategies are achieved in the HTN planning through different task decomposition processes, which are constrained by vehicle resources currently available. To verify the feasibility, this approach is implemented based on the Simple Hierarchical Ordered Planner 2(SHOP2), which is a domainindependent and state-based forward HTN planner. Experimental results show that the approach has good adaptability to solve dynamic vehicle schedule problem, meanwhile, it can be helpful to deal with the abnormal services agilely and hence to increase the service quality of public transit.

Bearing remaining useful life(RUL) prediction is critical for safe operation of rotating *** this paper,we propose a combined RUL prediction approach that leverages both trajectory similarity and relevance vector machine(RVM).The similarity based prediction relies on historical degradation trajectories that are highly similar to the online data,hence would perform poorly if all historical trajectories have low similarity with the online *** RVM based prediction relies solely on a regression model learned from the available online data,thus gives an inaccurate prediction when insufficient data are available in the early stage of degradation.A weighted sum of these above two predictions is proposed to address the limitation of each single prediction method,whose weights are determined by solving a non-negative least squares fitting *** further improve RUL prediction accuracy,we distinguish between fast and slow degradation modes,so that each mode uses a different set of historical degradation trajectories and kernel *** doing so,we predict RUL under the identified *** case study using the PHM2012 dataset demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed RUL prediction approach.
