Topology Characteristic of Hub-and-Spoke Transportation Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

As the hub-and-spoke network can achieve the balance of efficiency and cost, currently it is widely used in aviation, public and logistics transportation. The article chooses connectivity, node degree, entropy, and concentration indicator to analyze topology characteristic of hub-and-spoke transportation network; as well as structure reliability indicator considering sub-network numbers, shortest path and network dimension to research the reliability of hub-and-spoke network. The conclusion includes: hub-and-spoke network has higher connectivity, larger difference of node importance, higher order and less convenient; the ability to deal with random attacks is strong while the capability to resist deliberate attack is poor. The conclusion can improve planning and evaluation method of hub-and-spoke transportation network.
