Abstract: |
Although
in the literature several Air Transportation Networks have been modeled
through the mathematical framework of Complex Networks, less attention has
been devoted to their evolution: specifically, topology is stud- ied as static, excluding any schedule information. Sim- ulating the growth of an
air network is not an easy task, due to the great amount and heterogeneity of
agents inter- acting (aircrafts, controllers and
more). In this work we use a recently developed tool, called Scheduled
Network, to define an algorithm to simulate such a growth; the ba- sic assumption is that the cost for passengers should
be minimized, which is approximated with the time needed to go from one
airport to another one. Some results are presented, and the role and
importance of hubs (that is, central airports where great part of the flights
are concen- trated) is
discussed. |
