Shape and scaling of spatially embedded transport networks — •Robin de Regt and Christian von Ferber — Coventry University, UK

Real world transport networks are usually embedded in two- or three-dimensional space. Here, we explore the shape and scaling properties of these spatially embedded complex networks. The work presented we focus on the interplay of spatial embedding and scaling statistics. In particular, complex transport networks of public transport appear to show that spatial and scaling properties within these networks are closely correlated. To support our claim we have analysed a number of public transport networks in a number of large scale conglomerations.
