Model for networks of spatial objects and simulation of geographical phenomena propagation

Abstract

The topic of this paper is the presentation of a new network model designed for networks consisting of spatial objects. This model allows the development of more advance representations of systems of networked objects and the study of geographical phenomena propagated through networks. The capabilities of the model in simulation of geographical phenomena propagation are also studied and relevant algorithms are presented. As examples of use, modeling of water supply network and the simulation of traffic flow in road networks are presented.
