Abstract

This paper proposes a modeling method of divided-loop networks. First, traffic performance is compared by numerical simulation among straight networks, simple-loop networks and divided-loop networks. Next, a modeling method of divided-loop networks is proposed. Then, the reliability and construction cost of the networks are described and evaluated. Finally, total cost, including construction cost and damage cost by failure, is discussed. Applicable conditions of divided-loop networks are shown by calculated results
