Betweenness centrality for temporal multiplexes

Betweenness centrality quantifies the importance of a vertex for the information flow in a network. We propose a flexible definition of betweenness for temporal multiplexes, where geodesics are determined accounting for the topological and temporal structure and the duration of paths. We propose an algorithm to compute the new metric via a mapping to a static graph. We show the importance of considering the temporal multiplex structure and an appropriate distance metric comparing the results with those obtained with static or single-layer metrics on a dataset of $\sim 20$k European flights.
