复杂网络理论在城市交通网络分析中的应用

Application of Complex Network Theory to Urban Transportation Network Analysis

介绍了复杂网络的基本概念并详细分析了城市交通网络的特性。列举了2种将城市交通网络抽象为复杂网络的方法,探讨了各自存在的不足。从网络实证、网络演化机制、网络演化性质、网络动力学和网络结构稳定性5个方面总结了复杂网络理论在城市交通网络分析中的研究进展,指出了目前存在的问题。最后给出了城市交通网络复杂性研究的几个可能方向。

This paper starts with an introduction of the definition of complex networks, and further elabo rates the characteristics of urban transportation sys tems. Then the paper proposes two approaches to ex tracting urban transportation systems as complex net works, and discusses their shortcomings, respective ly. Based on a summary of the applications of the above methods from 5 aspects, such as practice, evo lution mechanism and features, network dynamics and structure stability and so on, the paper identifies existing issues in the applications. Finally, the paper indicates prospective research directions in complex networks of urban transportation.
