Study on the Evolution of Railway Hub Logistics Spatial Network under Passenger Dedicated Line Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article builds up nodes growth model based on weighted network and analyzes the evolution characteristics of railway hub logistics spatial network (LSN) under passenger dedicated line conditions. The results show that impelled by passenger dedicated line, the logistics amount of railway hub tends towards agglomeration and distributes more irregularly among stations; The network possesses convergence yet is unlikely forming a single center network because of the effect of the attractiveness of nodes and the weights of edges of railway hub LSN, but will split up into multi-center hierarchy network. It is also demonstrated by statistical data of logistics nodes of Guangzhou railway hub in one year pre-and-post-operation of Wuhan-Guangzhou passenger dedicated line.
