Finding a Zoning Path Based on Anti-Block Ability in an Urban Traffic Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

In Urban traffic networks, a road network is usually been divided into several traffic areas by a path or a few paths, which is known as network zoning. In this paper, we present a parameter based on anti-block ability for measuring the zoning effect, which results in the ratio between the average anti-block ability of k sub-networks and the anti-block ability of whole network is minimum. We define the ratio as zoning loss factor of anti-block ability. Minimum the ratio, the model for finding a zoning vital path (ZVP for short) to divide a network into two sub-networks is established, and present an algorithm for computing the ZVP.
