Complex network analysis: Mexico's City metro system

Abstract

The metro system from Mexico City has previously been analyzed, but only by parts, specific case studies to some stations (transfer, transit or terminals) or metro lines (individually) and not to the entire system as such. This study is important since it will give us information about the system that is not yet known, it will help us to correctly identify risks to minimize them, as well as delays in the lines, make improvements to the system, have an adequate planning, establish different policies to improve and satisfy the system needs. Tools such as simulation will be used to create scenarios and search for alternatives for improvement in the system, as well as, where appropriate, other tools such as optimization will be used. This paper uses different techniques such as
