| Summary: | Copyright © 2020, IGI Global. Skeleton network extraction has been adopted unevenly in transportation networks whose nodes are always represented as spatial units. In this article, the TPks skeleton network extraction method is proposed and applied to bicycle sharing networks. The method aims to reduce the network size while preserving key topologies and spatial features. The authors quantified the importance of nodes by an improved topology potential algorithm. The spatial clustering allows to detect high traffic concentrations and allocate the nodes of each cluster according to their spatial distribution. Then, the skeleton network is constructed by aggregating the most important indicated skeleton nodes. The authors examine the skeleton network characteristics and different spatial information using the original networks as a benchmark. The results show that the skeleton networks can preserve the topological and spatial information similar to the original networks while reducing their size and complexity. |
