The paper established a conventional bus traffic network and a subway network by using the method of space R based on the existing public traffic network model. Regarding these two networks as the sub-networks, this paper presented a new two-layer-coupled public traffic network with multi-weights through the transfer relationship between conventional bus lines and subway lines. Every edge of this model’s two sub-networks has one or several different property weights, and the coupling edges between two sub-networks have one weight. Based on the method of network split, the paper splits the complex networks with multi-weights into several different single-weighted two-layer-coupled public traffic networks and then investigates its global synchronisation. Finally, according to the synchronisation theory of coupling networks with multi-weights and taking ‘Lorenz system’ as the network node, some numerical examples are given to show the impact of congestion degree, passenger-flow density, transfer degree and capacity matching degree to the two-layer-coupled public traffic network balance.

The paper presents a new urban public traffic supernetwork model by using the existing bus network modeling method, consisting of the conventional bus traffic network and the urban rail traffic network. We investigate the synchronization problem of urban public traffic supernetwork model by using the coupled complex network’s outer synchronization theory. Analytical and numerical simulations are given to illustrate the impact of traffic dispatching frequency and traffic lines optimization to the urban public traffic supernetwork balance.

In order to study the traffic jams and congestion, this paper investigated the stability of a car-following model on the basis of synchronisation theory of complex network. By using the Lyapunov stability theory and designing the appropriate controller, the car-following model is quickly stabilised and the stability condition of the model is obtained. In addition, the stability of car-following model is studied when the vehicle is subjected to external stochastic disturbance. Finally, the numerical simulation is carried out by using the MATLAB simulation technology, and the results show that the car-following model is rapidly stabilising, and congestion phenomenon is effectively alleviated under the controller designed.

In order to study the dynamic characteristics of urban public traffic network, this paper establishes the conventional bus traffic network and the urban rail traffic network based on the spaceRmodeling method. Then regarding these two networks as the subnetwork, the paper presents a new bilayer coupled public traffic network through the transfer relationship between subway and bus, and this model well reflects the connection between the passengers and bus operating vehicles. Based on the synchronization theory of coupling network with time-varying delay and taking “Lorenz system” as the network node, the paper studies the synchronization of bilayer coupled public traffic network. Finally, numerical results are given to show the impact of public traffic dispatching, delayed departure, the number of public bus stops between bus lines, and the number of transfer stations between two traffic modes on the bilayer coupled public traffic network balance through Matlab simulation.

We study the bifurcations and sliding mode control of chaotic vibrations in an autonomous system. More precisely, a Hopf bifurcation controller is designed so as to control the unstable subcritical Hopf bifurcation to the stable supercritical Hopf bifurcation. Research result shows that the control method can work very well in Hopf bifurcation control. Besides, we controlled the system to any fixed point and any periodic orbit to eliminate the chaotic vibration by means of sliding mode method. And the numerical simulations were presented to confirm the effectiveness of the controller.
