We introduce the notion of intensity reweighted moment pseudostationary point processes on linear networks. Based on arbitrary general regular linear network distances, we propose geometrically corrected versions of different higher-order summary statistics, including the inhomogeneous empty space function, the inhomogeneous nearest neighbour distance distribution function and the inhomogeneous J-function. We also discuss their non-parametric estimators. Through a simulation study, considering models with different types of spatial interaction, we study the performance of our proposed summary statistics. Finally, we make use of our methodology to analyse two datasets: motor vehicle traffic accidents and spider data.
