# An\'alise comparativa de pesquisas de origens e destinos: uma abordagem baseada em Redes Complexas

## TL;DR

This paper compares complex network models of origin-destination data for Brazilian and foreign cities, revealing scale-free properties and economic influences on network structure.

## Contribution

It introduces a comparative analysis of origin-destination networks using complex network theory, highlighting similarities and power-law behaviors across different city networks.

## Key findings

- Networks exhibit power-law distributions in edge weights.
- Scale-free behavior linked to economic characteristics.
- Similarities between Brazilian and foreign city networks.

## Abstract

In this paper, a comparative study was conducted between complex networks representing origin and destination survey data. Similarities were found between the characteristics of the networks of Brazilian cities with networks of foreign cities. Power laws were found in the distributions of edge weights and this scale - free behavior can occur due to the economic characteristics of the cities.
