Passenger flow connectivity in collective transportation line networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we analyze the connectivity, in terms of number of transfers, of collective transportation line networks. In contrast to other existing works in the literature, where connectivity is analyzed from a topological point of view, we analyze it from a passengers flow perspective. This enables us to provide a real picture of the connectivity of a transportation system. We accomplish this task by means of hypergraphs, as well as their linearization and measures coming from Complex Network Theory.
