印度城市公交网络的传染过程
Contagion processes on urban bus networks in Indian cities
摘要：
公共汽车运输被认为是印度城市最方便，最便宜的公共交通方式之一。由于其成本效益和广泛的可达性，它们每天帮助城市中的很大一部分人口到达目的地。虽然从交通的角度来看，它们比其他公共交通方式有许多优点，但它们也构成了传染病在整个城市传播的严重威胁。由于存在许多地方性的空间限制，传染病传播的过程和程度极难预测。此外，大多数研究都集中在无标度网络拓扑结构上的传染过程，而空间受限的现实世界的网络，如总线网络，表现出广泛的网络拓扑结构。因此，我们的目标是在这项研究中，了解这一复杂的动态过程中的流行病爆发和信息扩散的公交网络上的六个不同的印度城市使用SI和SIR模型。这将使我们能够确定这些网络的流行阈值，这将有助于我们通过开发基于节点的免疫技术来控制疫情。
英文摘要：
Bus transportation is considered as one of the most convenient and cheapest modes of public transportation in Indian cities. Due to their cost-effectiveness and wide reachability, they help a significant portion of the human population in cities to reach their destinations every day. Although from a transportation point of view they have numerous advantages over other modes of public transportation, they also pose a serious threat of contagious diseases spreading throughout the city. The presence of numerous local spatial constraints makes the process and extent of epidemic spreading extremely difficult to predict. Also, majority of the studies have focused on the contagion processes on scale-free network topologies whereas, spatially-constrained real-world networks such as, bus networks exhibit a wide-spectrum of network topology. Therefore, we aim in this study to understand this complex dynamical process of epidemic outbreak and information diffusion on the bus networks for six different Indian cities using SI and SIR models. This will allow us to identify epidemic thresholds for these networks which will help us in controlling outbreaks by developing node-based immunization techniques.
