Abstract:

To address the problem of incomplete reflection of network structure characteristics and data distortion in static network models used in dynamic systems, an airport network structure analysis method based on a temporal complex network model was proposed by introducing time attributes. Network characteristic indicators such as nodal temporal degree, temporal centrality, temporal betweenness centrality, and temporal closeness centrality were analyzed. Then, the structural properties of CAN were investigated. Moreover, crucial airport nodes within the temporal network were identified and ranked, and the reasons for the heterogeneous node generation were analyzed. The results indicated that the temporal network structure of Chinese airports presented scale-free network characteristics. The average temporal distance values of CAN vary significantly with the maximum being 6.06 times the minimum. ZWWW (Urumqi Diwopu International Airport) and ZBHH (Hohhot Baita International Airport) represented relatively higher temporal betweenness centrality than other indicators, playing an important central role in the network. However, ZGSZ (Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport) had a higher temporal degree of centrality than other indicators.
