Distance-Based Routing Strategy for Traffic Transport in Spatial Networks

Figure 2

(Color online) The relationship between the topological shortest path length versus the resized distance between any two nodes for both the spatial network model in [8] and its null model. Here, in the resized distance , denotes the actual geodesic distance and denotes the geodesic distance between two neighboring nodes in the geographical space. The degree exponent is set to 3 and the clustering strength in the spatial network model in [8] is set to 1.1.
