This paper encapsulates the Chinese Airline Network (CAN) into multi-layer infrastructures
via the “k-core decomposition” method. The network is divided into three layers: Core layer …

The study of network robustness is a critical tool in the characterization and sense making of
complex interconnected systems such as infrastructure, communication and social networks …

Due to rapid development in the past decade, air transportation system has attracted
considerable research attention from diverse communities. While most of the previous …

This paper proposes a novel efficiency metric for weighted air transport networks (ATNs),
where the weight represents the connection strength between two airports concerning the …

Robust maritime transportation networks are essential to the development of world
economy. But vulnerability of the global liner shipping network (GLSN) to unexpected …

Robustness of transportation networks is one of the major challenges of the 21st century.
This paper investigates the resilience of global air transportation from a complex network …

This paper analyzes the vulnerability of the European air transport network to major airport
closures from the perspective of the delays imposed to disrupted airline passengers. Using …

In this paper, the global tourism network (GTN) is studied in order to gain insight about its
structure and the interactions between source and destination markets. To concentrate on …

The world's major airports are directly connected to hundreds of airports without
intermediate routes. This connectivity can be described as the network in which the airport …

Network theory has provided key insights into the overall resilience of air transportation
systems. We expand upon these insights by using Mahalanobis distance to quantify delay …
