Abstract :
Comprehensive urban passenger transportation hub, be the key link of urban passenger transport system, and the intersection of the transport networks made up with different modes of transport, is the place that passenger flows distribute and transfer. Comprehensive urban passenger transportation hub can be abstracted as transfer passageways and hubs for the physical nodes in a network. In this paper, related to the knowledge of a complex network, making the city´s comprehensive passenger transport hub as the object of study, according to the original law and the dual method, an integrated passenger transport hub will be built into the two kinds of networks and their complex characteristic would be analyzed. The results show that t degree distribution of the city´s comprehensive passenger transport network is in line with power-law distribution. Thus we can tell that the network in the internal of the city´s comprehensive passenger transport hub is a scale-free complex network.
