Analysis on Structural Characteristics of High Speed Railway Network Based on Complex Network
A convenient and stable high speed railway transportation network is the guarantee for efficient railway passenger and freight transport.Based on complex network theory,this paper constructs a high speed railway network from the perspective of actual railway infrastructure,analyzes its characteristics from the aspect of network topological properties,and understands its current situation.This paper constructs a high speed railway network model by L Space method,and analyzes the structural characteristics of the topological network from complex network indicators such as degree distribution,average path length and clustering coefficient.The study shows that China's high speed railway network has the characteristics of scale-free network as a whole,with a large number of stations in the central and eastern regions and coastal and riverside areas and high aggregation.Nodes in local hub areas are connected and aggregated,showing the characteristics of small-world network,mainly concentrated at large stations such as Hangzhou South,Nanjing South and Zhengzhou East.In addition,by comparing and analyzing the changes in the characteristics of the high speed railway network in 2023,it can be seen that the stations in the railway network have the characteristics of increasingly enhanced connectivity and balanced development of the regional layout of the railway network.
