Circuity analyses of HSR network and high-speed train paths in China.

Circuity, defined as the ratio of the shortest network distance to the Euclidean distance between one origin-destination (O-D) pair, can be adopted as a helpful evaluation method of indirect degrees of train paths. In this paper, the maximum circuity of the paths of operated trains is set to be the...
