HubandSpokeArchitekturen

HubandSpokeArc is a term used in network design and geometry to describe a hybrid structure that combines a hub-and-spoke topology with arc-shaped distribution of spokes. In this model, a central hub provides connectivity to multiple peripheral nodes, with the spokes arranged along a curved sector rather than around a complete circle. The arc defines limits on angular spread and routing direction, shaping coverage and access patterns.

Applications appear in transportation planning, where routes emanate from a central facility and follow curved corridors to serve outlying districts, and in graph-theoretic analyses of radial networks. The arrangement is intended to balance directness of connections with geographic or infrastructural constraints, potentially reducing overlap and travel distance compared with a full circular layout.

Key design considerations include the radius and angle of the arc, the density and placement of spokes, and the management of redundancy and capacity at the hub. Variants range from single-arc configurations to multi-layer designs with several concentric or offset arcs, each supporting different service levels or demand patterns.

Related concepts include hub-and-spoke networks, radial routing, and arc-based geometries in network visualization. The term HubandSpokeArc is primarily used in planning and theoretical contexts rather than as a widely standardized term.
