A Weighted Passenger Flow Evolving Model for the High-Speed Rail Network Based on the City Attractiveness

As the rapid development of the high-speed rail, its carrying traffic is growing constantly. In order to research and analyses the traffic development trend of the high-speed rail, We make full use of the complex networks theory this tool, combining the special characteristics of the high-speed rail network, and then build a weighted traffic evolving model of the high-speed rail network based on the city attractiveness. Through the theoretical derivation and simulation, we confirm that this model has a distinct power-law distribution property and a better robustness. Besides, we find that the attractiveness of the city has an obvious impact on the traffic in accord with the reality, so it has a valid practical reference value.
