Abstract

The network topology is the basis of studying the overall performance and dynamic evolution mechanism of network. In regards to the study on the topology of multi-layer complex networks, the current studies fail to consider the heterogeneity of edges and nodes in multi-layer complex networks, and such methods are insufficient when they are used to analyze the static characteristics of topology. Therefore, this paper based on the theoretical basis of the multi-layer complex network, establishes a two-layer public transit complex network model where urban rail transit and bus transit cooperate with each other, and by optimizing this two-layer public transit complex network model, further proposes an integrated public transit network model. According to the method of analyzing the static statistical characteristics of complex networks, and considering the heterogeneity of nodes and edges in multi-layer network, this​ paper gives the evaluation indicators of static statistical characteristics of multi-layer public transit complex networks. Taking the two-layer public transit complex network structure in Lanzhou as an example, this paper finds out the main factors affecting its network stability and efficiency by analyzing the physical structure characteristics of this two-layer public transit complex network in Lanzhou where urban rail transit and bus transit cooperate with each other, and then puts forward the network optimization suggestions from the point of view of optimizing key nodes by using the method of identifying key nodes with centrality. In this study, the coupling among heterogeneous public transit network layers and the static structure characteristics of multi-layer public transit complex network are studied from the perspective of network structure, to assist the traffic management department in finding out the problems of the road network for the management and improvement of the performance and efficiency of the network. This has a profound influence on the development planning of urban public transit system.
