Experimental Evaluation of Network Properties in Public Transportation Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Public transportation systems across the United States serve millions of riders every day, forming crucial links between people and their daily destinations. In this work, we develop a method for modeling public transportation systems as network graphs. We use the resultant graphs to study the properties of 18 public transportation systems from cities and counties in the United States and Canada. Furthermore, we develop a simple model for passenger behavior and use it to test the relative robustness of these networks.
