Study on Public Transport Networks Characteristics Based on Complex Networks

In order to control the urban transport networks balance effectively and assign the bus lines and tasks rationally,we extracted the bus stops into the nodes and the links between stops into the edges by adopting research methods for complex networks with transport networks of taian city as a study example to set up a transport network with Space L and Space P after referring to graph theory definition,so that the complex networks characteristics were analyzed through empirical study.The results show that the taian transport complex networks have the big average path length and small cluster coefficient,which is different with other cities with characteristics of the small-world networks.Therefore,a reference scheme for the above problems was proposed.The practice analysis proves that it is feasible to solve the transport networks difficulty by the complex networks theory.
