Joao Carlos Correia Baptista Soares de Mello joaocsmello@gmail.com Federal Fluminense University, Niterói, RJ, Brazil ABSTRACT Goal: This paper presents an analysis of the Brazilian air network based on the measure of h centrality. Design / Methodology / Approach: The purpose of this study is to define and determine the central network using the concepts of h-centrality. Method adapted from graph theory concepts with bibliometrics, especially the h-index. From the center of this index will be listed the most used airports to define the Brazilian central network and thus determinate the type h-index of Brazil. Results: The main airports in the results represent more than 50% of the homologated flights in Brazil. Limitations of the investigation: The centrality measure presents the situation at the moment when the data were analyzed. In the original h-index this notion reflects a history of the articles published by each author, but in the case of airports the market dynamics changes the behavior of the network. Practical implications: This model of air flight frequencies assists in public policy guidelines and planning both in air traffic control and in the verification of system impacts. Originality / Value: The method seeks to provide the list with main important airports without any prior definition by a decision maker.

巴西机场网络评估

Joao Carlos Correia Baptista Soares de Mello joaocsmello@gmail.com联邦Fluminense大学（巴西里约热内卢），摘要目的：本文基于h中心度的度量，对巴西航空网络进行了分析。设计/方法/方法：这项研究的目的是使用h中心概念定义和确定中央网络。从图论概念与文献计量学（尤其是h指数）改编的方法。从该索引的中心开始，将列出定义巴西中央网络最常用的机场，从而确定巴西的h指数类型。结果：结果中的主要机场占巴西经认证的航班的50％以上。研究的局限性：中心度度量表示分析数据时的情况。在最初的h指数中，该概念反映了每个作者发表的文章的历史，但是在机场的情况下，市场动态改变了网络的行为。实际意义：这种空中飞行频率模型有助于公共政策准则和空中交通管制以及系统影响验证的规划。原创性/价值：该方法旨在为列表提供主要的重要机场，而无需决策者事先定义。
