Abstract

Fig. 5 displays four base networks , 15 x 15 90° network (A0), 15 x 15 45° network (B0), and 15 x 15 30° network (C0), and 4 x 4 complete network (D0), as well as 12 network structures derived from them (three for each). As can be seen, links have been specified as five different hierarchies [1-5]. The boldness and grayness of a link indicates its hierarchy level and a bolder and darker link represents a road of a higher hierarchy. This study examines these 16 networks with proposed structural measures. (p 348 of Xie and Levinson (2007) Measuring the Structure of Road Networks)

Description

The networks used in Figure 5 (Xie and Levinson (2007) Measuring the Structure of Road Networks) are in 16 simple ASCII node and link tables. The 12 derived network structures are obtained by using a simulation model called the degeneration model (Xie and Levinson (2008) The weakest link: The decline of the surface transportation network). The simulator are written in Java and named "SOUND – System for Ultraconnected Network Degeneration" (Xie and Levinson (2016).
