本文展示了模块识别技术如何帮助机场评估新航线对其网络连通性的影响。虽然只有航空公司可以选择是否开通一条新航线，但这项研究也引起了机场和地区政府的兴趣，他们可以提供激励措施，鼓励新的连接到理想的目的地。该分析使用模拟退火法来验证欧洲航空网络中是否存在高度互连的子系统或模块。模块是一组机场，在交换座位方面具有非常强的内部联系，但与网络其余部分的连接较弱。从改善连通性的角度来看，我们预计通往属于其他模块的大型机场的新航线是最可取的。我们还发现，待连接的模块之间的互换率越低，连接增益就越高。我们在2007年秋季至少有一次定期航班的所有467个欧洲机场上测试了这一假设。
This paper shows how module identification techniques can help airports evaluate the impact of new routes on their network connectivity. Although only carriers can choose whether to open a new route, this research is also of interest to airports and regional governments, who can offer incentives for new connections to desirable destinations. The analysis employs simulated annealing to verify the existence of highly interconnected subsystems, or modules, within the European aviation network. A module is a group of airports with very strong internal links in terms of exchanged seats, but weak connections to the rest of the network. From the standpoint of improving connectivity, we expect that new routes towards large airports belonging to other modules are the most desirable. We also find that the lower the interchange between the modules to be connected, the higher the connectivity gain. We test this hypothesis on all 467 European airports with at least one scheduled flight in autumn 2007.
