Abstract
Road classification and hierarchy are the fundamental of road network planning and road design, and a set of strict and quantitative hierarchy method can reduce or even eliminate the subjectivity and uncertainty in urban planning. Based on summarizing deficiencies in existing road classification method, this paper focus on the road structure importance in network with complex network analysis techniques, building an index to describe road comprehensive importance and quantified road hierarchy method. The index built here takes both of road structure characteristic and road width into account. Through the case study of Mianyang, we find that, to some extent, there is a good similarity between results of this new method and the traditional method. This new method could help planners classify and rank urban roads more accurately and faster.
