Structural analysis of Koleje Wielkopolskie transport network

Abstract

Public transport is one of the most important elements in the development of the economy and the social space in which it functions. It is therefore very important to properly organize and plan a smooth and resilient transport network that will meet the stated objectives of public transport, both economic and social. The article presents a structural analysis with the use of graph theory for the Koleje Wielkopolskie [Wielkopolskie Railways] railway network to assess its structure in terms of the organizational and functional aspects. The network is used, among others, in co-realization of the public transport within the Warsaw agglomeration and the surrounding areas.
