Decoupling process for better synchronizability on scale-free networks.

We propose a decoupling process performed in scale-free networks to enhance the synchronizability of the network, together with preserving the scale-free structure. Simulation results show that the decoupling process can effectively promote the network synchronizability, which is measured in terms of eigenratio of the coupling matrix. Moreover, we investigate the correlation between some important structural properties and the collective synchronization, and find that the maximum vertex betweenness seems to be the most strongly correlated with the synchronizability among the major structural features considered. We explain the effect of the decoupling process from a viewpoint of coupling information transmission. Our work provides some evidence that the dynamics of synchronization is related to that of information or vehicle traffic. Because of the low cost in modifying the coupling network, the decoupling process may have potential applications.

Integrating local static and dynamic information for routing traffic.

The efficiency of traffic routing on complex networks can be reflected by two key measurements, i.e., the network capacity and the average travel time of data packets. In this paper we propose a mixing routing strategy by integrating local static and dynamic information for enhancing the efficiency of traffic on scale-free networks. The strategy is governed by a single parameter. Simulation results show that maximizing the network capacity and reducing the packet travel time can generate an optimal parameter value. Compared with the strategy of adopting exclusive local static information, the new strategy shows its advantages in improving the efficiency of the system. The detailed analysis of the mixing strategy is provided for explaining its effects on traffic routing. The work indicates that effectively utilizing the larger degree nodes plays a key role in scale-free traffic systems.

Traffic dynamics based on local routing protocol on a scale-free network.

We propose a packet routing strategy with a tunable parameter based on the local structural information of a scale-free network. As free traffic flow on the communication networks is key to their normal and efficient functioning, we focus on the network capacity that can be measured by the critical point of phase transition from free flow to congestion. Simulations show that the maximal capacity corresponds to alpha= -1 in the case of identical nodes' delivering ability. To explain this, we investigate the number of packets of each node depending on its degree in the free flow state and observe the power law behavior. Other dynamic properties including average packets traveling time and traffic load are also studied. Inspiringly, our results indicate that some fundamental relationships exist between the dynamics of synchronization and traffic on the scale-free networks.

Advanced information feedback in intelligent traffic systems.

The optimal information feedback is very important to many socioeconomic systems like stock market and traffic systems aiming to make full use of resources. As to traffic flow, a reasonable real-time information feedback can improve the urban traffic condition by providing route guidance. In this paper, the influence of a feedback strategy named congestion coefficient feedback strategy is introduced, based on a two-route scenario in which dynamic information can be generated and displayed on the board to guide road users to make a choice. Simulation results adopting this optimal information feedback strategy have demonstrated high efficiency in controlling spatial distribution of traffic patterns compared with the other two information feedback strategies, i.e., travel time and mean velocity.
