Overview of this book

We are living in the age of big data, and scalable solutions are a necessity. Network science leverages the power of graph theory and flexible data structures to analyze big data at scale. This book guides you through the basics of network science, showing you how to wrangle different types of data (such as spatial and time series data) into network structures. You’ll be introduced to core tools from network science to analyze real-world case studies in Python. As you progress, you’ll find out how to predict fake news spread, track pricing patterns in local markets, forecast stock market crashes, and stop an epidemic spread. Later, you’ll learn about advanced techniques in network science, such as creating and querying graph databases, classifying datasets with graph neural networks (GNNs), and mining educational pathways for insights into student success. Case studies in the book will provide you with end-to-end examples of implementing what you learn in each chapter. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to wrangle your own datasets into network science problems and scale solutions with Python.

Transportation Data

This chapter tackles transportation logistics, which involves the movement of supplies or goods from one location to another. We’ll introduce a goods delivery problem to find the optimal routing of supplies to minimize the delivery time and cost to deliver the goods. We’ll explore shortest paths, optimal routes to visit all necessary locations, and scaling algorithms to large networks. Further, we’ll examine caveats to simple distance weightings to calculate route optimality, considering delivery hazards on routes that can influence optimality.

When you have finished this chapter, you’ll understand how to frame transportation problems as network problems and scale them to very large routing networks using Python.

Specifically, we will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Introduction to transportation problems
  • Shortest path applications
  • Traveling salesman problem
  • Maximum flow/minimum cut (max-flow min...
