Evaluating the Connectivity and Imbalance Contribution of New Sections towards Highway Network: A Complex Network Perspective

Table 1

Examples for the imbalance analysis.

	Changes of conditions	Attribute {“section”: Property} existing ⟶ future	Entropy		Gini
			existing ⟶ future		existing ⟶ future
1	Even distribution, increase section	{“0”: 1/3, “1”: 1/3, “2”: 1/3} ⟶ {“0”: 1/4, “1”: 1/4, “2”: 1/4, “3”: 1/4}	1.0986	1.3863	0	0
2	Increase invalid section	{“0”: 0.6, “1”: 0.2, “2”: 0.2} ⟶ {“0”: 0.6, “1”: 0.2, “2”: 0.2, “3”: 0.0}	0.9503	0.9503	0.2667	0.45
3	Change the distribution order	{“0”: 0.5, “1”: 0.3, “2”: 0.2} ⟶ {“0”: 0.2, “1”: 0.3, “2”: 0.5}	1.0297	1.0297	0.2	0.2
4	More closer to even distribution	{“0”: 0.6, “1”: 0.2, “2”: 0.2} ⟶ {“0”: 0.5, “1”: 0.3, “2”: 0.2}	0.9503	1.0297	0.2667	0.2
