Abstract/Summary

Railway transit networks are one of the most used modes of transportation. Contrary to its popularity, the research regarding this area is not known to many. Network indicators are essential in analyzing the topology of a network. The network topology deals with the arrangement of the nodes and edges. In this study, the researchers will evaluate the topology of the current rail transit networks of the Philippines, as well as some of its Asian neighbors, such as Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. Moreover, comparisons between the current rail transit of the Philippines and its proposed network will be analyzed. Indicators will also be computed on special types of graph. The concepts from Graph Theory will be used to analyze the network where the nodes and edges will represent the stations and inter-station spacings, respectively. This is essential to determine and explain why different countries excel in the different indicators.
