Classification and Evolution Analysis of Key Transportation Technologies Based on Bibliometrics

To study the classification and evolution of key technologies in the transportation field, the data of 36 authoritative SCI journals in the transportation field were collected from the Web of Science core collection database from 2001 to 2020. Based on the bibliometric method, this study used Python...

Based on the bibliometric method, this study used Python to process and visualize data, combined with bibliometric software VOSviewer to assist data visualization.

The least squares method was used to fit the distribution of the annual proportion of the publications, and the slope k1 of the fitted linear regression equation was used to determine the research interest trend of key technologies. The key technologies were divided into “hot technology,” “cold technology,” and “other technologies,” according to the research heat trend. In order to further explore the research hotspots, the least squares method was also used to fit the citations of all technologies to obtain the slope k2. We use the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) algorithm to cluster k1 and k2 of each technology. As a result, the 144 technologies were divided into 13 super-key technologies, 60 key technologies, 59 relative key technologies, and 12 lower-key technologies.
