The concepts of hole, cycle added link and non-planar hole-generated network are introduced for the first time and used to determine (a) the immediate solution of the node conservation equations in terms of hole and cycle added vectors, and (b) the paths as linear combinations of hole vectors....

The quality of information on a network is crucial for different transportation planning and management applications. Problems focusing on where to strategically extract this information can be broadly subdivided into observability problems, which rely on the topological properties of the...
