abstract
- The goal of this research is to estimate different parameters in the urban bus and the subway networks of Madrid. The obtained results will allow learning more about both types of networks: modularity, most important stops, sensitivity in the district networks (districts with highest and lowest sensitivity), bus line concentration by detected communities, communication capacity for these networks (districts with the greatest and less number of inner and external communications), and relation between network and dweller density by district. This study can help to improve the transport networks: reducing the district sensitivity, adding new stops or routes, etc.
