Abstract:
One of the most challenging issues of contemporary complex network research is to understand the structure of the multilayer network better. It is focused on the feature and influence of complex system converged by different scales. A framework is developed for linking the data of different networks, such as the maritime network, air freight network, organization network of logistics enterprises and international trade network. The primary purpose of this study is to analyze the structural complexity of the logistics network by indicators of network structure and the influence of the nodes using the method of Gephi. And further, the multilayer network is converged by the link overlap to evaluate what kind of the developing phase based on the algorithm of t-SNE and k-means. ArcGIS is applied to visualize the spatial distribution of the different groups of the logistics hub cities. The analysis highlights that the structure of the logistics network features small world property and scale- free. Besides, the backbone of the logistics network is diamond- shaped and distributed by five significant areas (Western Europe, Eastern and Southern Asia, Western Asia, Eastern North America). Moreover, the network of logistics hub is hierarchical, and the urban at different levels show remarkable spatial heterogeneity. Copyright © 2019 by Science Press.
