An Evaluation Method Based on Neighbors for Node Importance in Maritime Network

In this paper, in node importance in maritime network area there is a new evaluation model has been proposed. Comparing with other analogous methods, this evaluation method reflects a more comprehensive evaluation result. The model of this method is based on two different way about the evaluation factors which the node’s strength and the influence of its neighbor nodes. Then, in 2016, we investigated Lloyd’s List Intelligence’s case of the world’s top 100 ports through container throughput. We find that the distribution of node strength follows power law distribution and the distribution of node degree follows exponential distribution. At last, the parameters of the model are determined by the case study.
