Characteristic Analysis and Important Stations Identification of Wuhan Metro Complex Network Based on Two Models

Based on complex network theory, this paper takes 11 lines and 247 stations actually operated in Wuhan Metro in 2022 as the research object. Firstly, Space-L and Space-P networks of Wuhan Metro are constructed respectively, by calculating the statistics of the two networks, the characteristics of Wuhan Metro transportation system are comprehensively studied. Then we select four indicators that can reflect the practical significance, use the entropy weight method to weight the indicators, and rank the station importance of 247 stations in the two networks. The important stations in the Space-L network ensure the normal operation of the subway network, while the important stations in the Space-P network facilitate passengers’ travel and transfer, and the stations with the highest importance need to strengthen the construction and maintenance in actual operation.
