Flows: movements of people, freight, and information over their network o. Transportation systems are commonly represented using networks as analogy for their structure and flows: network: refers to the framework of routes within a system of locations, identified as nodes o o. Route: single link (edge/arc) between two nodes that are part of a larger network that can refer to. Less tangible routes such as air and sea corridors. Network topology: looks at the arrangement of nodes and links, particularly their locations and the nature of their connections. Links indicate which nodes are linked and how they are linked, namely with a directional attribute. Path: sequence of links (edges/arcs) connect a sequence of nodes (which are all distinct from one another)
