Contribution

It presents a novel model for transport network development using the Cameo principle and demonstrates the effectiveness of random walks in analyzing complex networks.

Findings

The model captures resource distribution in transport networks.

Random walks reveal structural and functional segmentation.

Application to Venetian canals illustrates practical utility.

Abstract

We discuss a model accounting for the creation and development of transport networks based on the Cameo principle which refers to the idea of distribution of resources, including land, water, minerals, fuel and wealth. We also give an outlook of the use of random walks as an effective tool for the investigation of network structures and its functional segmentation. In particular, we have studied the complex transport network of Venetian canals by means of random walks.
