Large scale embedded networks: The UK bus grid — •Masayuki Hase1 and Christian von Ferber2 — 1Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brasil — 2AMRC, Coventry University, Coventry, UK
Using large scale data on a large part of the UK public bus networks we investigate the embedding of these interconnected networks in the given underlying road network. In particular we investigate the statistics of spatial route distance as function of the number of stations traveled testing earlier observations of fractal and Levy type behaviour in smaller systems. We identify different regimes for these particular behaviours. Further, we investigate the shapes of the local embedded networks applying notions developed for polymer shape characterisation.
