Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify the core technologies in metro field by analyzing the overall structure of technologies and interactions among of them, which is beneficial to grasp technological trend and advance of metro field in China. For this study, the metro patent data were collected (1986-2015) from patent information analyzing system. And then, we built a complex patent network with their co-occurrence relationship of international patent classification (IPC) information. Considering the node importance depending on its original importance and importance contribution to other nodes and complex patent network’s features, we improved the node importance contribution correlation matrix (NICCM) method to calculate node importance in overall network structure.
