The purpose of the paper is to present an analysis of vulnerability of road networks through an accessibility indicator and a link importance index (LII). Specifically, the objective is to identify which traffic disruptions generate the most significant impacts. This methodology has been applied to ...
While betweenness centrality may say something about who controls the flow of information in a network, closeness centrality is another measure that may say something about how fast or how far information from a node spreads. Formally, closeness centrality measures how close a node is to all the...
Third, closeness centrality is an indicator used to measure the average distance between a node and all other nodes in the network. Referring to the algorithm of [45], we used the following method to calculate the closeness centrality. The sum of the shortest path of the focal firm and all...
