Abstract
We propose a spatial network model for transportation system based on the optimal expected traffic. The expected traffic represents the prediction of the flow created by two vertices and is calculated by the improved gravity equation . The model maximizes the total expected traffic of the network. By changing the two parameters and which controls the fitness and the geographical constraints, the model can vary its topology from the star-like network to the decentralized road-like network. The simulation for the Chinese city airline network reproduced many properties of the real network. In the end of this paper the relationship of the expected traffic and the real traffic is discussed.
