Scaling properties in spatial networks and their effects on topology and traffic dynamics

H Yang, Y Nie, A Zeng, Y Fan, Y Hu, Z Di - Europhysics Letters, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Empirical studies on the spatial structures in several real transport networks reveal that the
distance distribution in these networks obeys a power law. To discuss the influence of the …

Topological effects on the performance of transportation networks

Z Xiao-Mei, G Zi-You - Chinese Physics Letters, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the influence of the network topology on the performance (characterized by
the total system cost and maximal traffic volume) of transportation networks, where the …

Optimization of spatial complex networks

S Guillier, V Muñoz, J Rogan, R Zarama… - Physica A: Statistical …, 2017 - Elsevier
First, we estimate the connectivity properties of a predefined (fixed node locations) spatial
network which optimizes a connectivity functional that balances construction and …

A spatial weighted network model based on optimal expected traffic

JH Qian, DD Han - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2009 - Elsevier
We propose a spatial weighted network model based on the optimal expected traffic. The
expected traffic represents the prediction of the flow created by two vertices and is calculated …

Dynamical properties of transportation on complex networks

B Shen, ZY Gao - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications, 2008 - Elsevier
We study the dynamical properties of transportation considering the topology structure of
networks and congestion effects, based on a proposed simple model. We analyze the …

Traffic dynamics on coupled spatial networks

WB Du, XL Zhou, Z Chen, KQ Cai, XB Cao - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2014 - Elsevier
With the rapid development of modern traffic, various means of transportation systems make
it more convenient and diversified for passengers to travel out. In this paper, we establish a …

Dynamics on spatial networks and the effect of distance coarse graining

A Zeng, D Zhou, Y Hu, Y Fan, Z Di - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its …, 2011 - Elsevier
Recently, spatial networks have attracted much attention. The spatial network is constructed
from a regular lattice by adding long-range edges (shortcuts) with probability P (r)∼ r− δ …

Optimal geometry of transportation networks

D Aldous, M Barthelemy - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
Motivated by the shape of transportation networks such as subways, we consider a
distribution of points in the plane and ask for the network G of given length L that is optimal …

Geometric origin of scaling in large traffic networks

M Popović, H Štefančić, V Zlatić - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
Large scale traffic networks are an indispensable part of contemporary human mobility and
international trade. Networks of airport travel and cargo ship movements are invaluable for …

The spatial structure of networks

MT Gastner, MEJ Newman - The European Physical Journal B-Condensed …, 2006 - Springer
We study networks that connect points in geographic space, such as transportation networks
and the Internet. We find that there are strong signatures in these networks of topography …
