Abstract

Abstract

To investigate the evolution rules and intrinsic mechanisms of coal transportation network of China, a coal transportation network evolution model based on the coal price cost and transportation cost selection mechanism was proposed referring to the modeling ideas of complex networks. Through adjusting the model parameters, the influences of model parameters on the network characteristics were analyzed. To reflect the effect of dynamic fluctuation in coal price on node selection, a coal price fluctuation function was constructed to serve the evolution model. The simulating calculation was conducted through the coal transportation data of China in 1998, and the simulation results were compared with the coal transportation network characteristics of China in 2016 to verify the rationality of the proposed coal transportation network evolution model. Research result shows that the node strength is more suitable for analyzing the characteristics of coal transportation network of China than the node degree. The coal transportation network of China is a heterogeneous network. Removing a few nodes with high strength will severely affect the network connectivity. Increasing importing nodes of coal transportation will reduce the impact of removing a few nodes with high strength on the network. Increasing exporting nodes of coal transportation can enhance the reliability of coal transportation network of China, improve the potential of ports in the areas such as Shandong and Liaoning, and drive the regional economic development. Increasing importing nodes of coal transportation can make the southeast coast region and central region of China critical nodes, and also enhance the reliability of coal transportation network of China, but will weaken the network invulnerability and the tendency of critical nodes connecting with non-critical nodes. The transmission and tightness of network will show a tendency of increasing first and then decreasing. Thus, when increasing importing and exporting nodes of coal transportation, the overall planning of coal transportation network and the construction and management of hub areas should be strengthened. The coal transportation resource allocation should be rationally guided, so as to improve the overall performance of coal transportation network of China.
