We have studied urban public traffic networks from the viewpoint of complex networks and game theory. Firstly, we have empirically investigated an urban public traffic network in Beijing in 2003, and obtained its statistical properties. Then a simplified game theory model is proposed for simulating the evolution of the traffic network. The basic idea is that three network manipulators, passengers, an urban public traffic company, and a government traffic management agency, play games in a network evolution process. Each manipulator tries to build the traffic lines to magnify its ''benefit''. Simulation results show a good qualitative agreement with the empirical results.

## Abstract This paper considers the problem of the competition among a finite number of players who must transport the fixed volume of traffic on a simple network over a prescribed planning horizon. Each player attempts to minimize his total transportation cost by making simultaneous decisions of
## Abstract We present both researcher and practitioner responses to the results of a 2007 research study originally designed to apply social network theory to the Neighborhood Integrated Service Teams (NIST). The municipal government for the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada designed and
We introduce a simulation algorithm based on a fluid-dynamic model for traffic flows on road networks, which are considered as graphs composed by arcs that meet at some junctions. The approximation of scalar conservation laws along arcs is made by three velocities Kinetic schemes with suitable bound

Many different theories of ageing have been proposed, based often on highly specific molecular causes. Recent advances in evolutionary theory support the idea that ageing is caused by progressive accumulation of defects, but indicate that multiple processes are likely to operate in parallel. This ca
