Abstract: A deeper understanding of the inherent structure of transportation systems and the identification and prediction of vital nodes are critical issues in practical applications for both society and the military. This paper aims to address the challenges and current status in transportation networks, where methods at the topological layer struggle to predict actual traffic distributions and forecasting traffic flow at the load layer requires extensive sample data. Based on the prevalent Higher-order Dependency in transportation systems, this study explores the dynamics of trajectory flows to predict node importance at a small scale. Experimental results validate that the sorting of node importance calculated in this paper dynamically fits real traffic distributions at the load layer, offering managers a fresh perspective to effectively operate the fundamental functions of transportation systems.
