Modelling and performance evaluation of fractal topology streets network

Abstract

The paper introduces the concept of a Fractal Topology Streets Network (FTSN) in which different transportation modes interact each other via distinguished subsets of common shared hubs as to provide a variety of mass customized passenger services. The network of repetitively acting local transportation modes encompassing FTSN’s fractal structure provides a framework for passengers’ origin-destination trip routing and scheduling. The passenger travel schedules can be estimated easily while taking into account cyclic behaviour of both: local transportation modes and the whole transportation network. In that context the paper’s objective concerns of assessment of a Fractal-like Network of periodically acting Local Transportation Modes (FNLTM) infrastructure from the perspective of possible mass-customized oriented requirements.
