Abstract
An urban road network of Le Mans in France is analyzed. Some topological properties of network are investigated, such as degree distribution, clustering coefficient, diameter, and characteristic path length. These results suggest that our network is a "small- world" network with short average shortest path and large clustering coefficient. Furthermore, double power-law distribution is found in degree distribution which is distinct from the single power-law and a novel degree distribution function is also given. Some analysis on this function extend the comprehension of the origination of the double power-law distribution widely dispersed in nature.
