Of these studies, very few studies have examined how mobility patterns vary across different...

Disruptions to transportation networks can be very costly. However, managing disruptions and the costs associated with these events, poses some challenges. Transport networks are, in many cases, large and complex. This paper develops a method, based on complex network theory, to analyse...

This paper uses techniques from formal language theory to describe the linear spatial patterns in urban freeway traffic flows in order to understand and analyze “hidden order” in such high volume systems. A method for measuring randomness based on algorithmic entropy is introduced and...
