Analysis of Aviation Networks Structure Based on Complex Networks Theory

The development of economy and information technology has increased the scale of aviation networks and enhanced the complex interaction in the network. Therefore the study of aviation networks has become the hot research issue in the international research academy. The complex networks theory which is highly abstracted from complex system has been researched thoroughly. Thus, it is used here to analyze the structure of aviation networks. First of all, the topological features of complex aviation networks are analyzed. Then the spatial distribution of Chinese aviation network is researched according to the indices of degree, clustering coefficient, accessibility, and so on. At last, the analysis shows that Chinese aviation network is a "Small World" networks whose center is the airports with large degree. The network analysis model proposed here directs the improvement of Chinese aviation network development.
