Recent Progress about Flight Delay under Complex Network

Flight delay is one of the most challenging threats to operation air transportation network system. Complex was introduced into research studies on flight delays due its low complexity, high flexibility in model building, and accurate explanation about real world. We surveyed recent progress which makes extensive use complex theory this paper. scanned analyses static temporal evolution, together with identification topologically important nodes/edges. And, we made a clarification relations among robustness, vulnerability, resilience networks. Then, investigated causal relations, propagation modellings, best spreaders identifications delay. Ultimately, future improvements are summarized fourfold. (1) Under Network, relevant subsystems or sublayers discarded by majority available models. Hierarchical modelling approaches may be able improve provide more capable models for (2) Traffic information key narrow gap between topology functionality current situations. schedule plan could employed detect causalities propagations accurately. Real data utilized validate revise detection prediction (3) It great importance explore how predict identify at cost calculation complexity. This achieved analyzing frequency domain instead time domain. (4) Summation critical nodes/edges not crucial group propagations. Effective algorithm influential sequence developed.
