Passenger Flow Improvement Measures and Effect Evaluation of Beijing Suburban Railway Huai-rou-Miyun Line
In order to strengthen the connection between the peripheral new towns and the central urban ar-ea,and to support the relocation of non-capital functions,Beijing has vigorously promoted the develop-ment of suburban railways in recent years.However,the passenger flow volumes of several existing subur-ban railways operating in Beijing are generally low,which have a large gap with the expected scale.In or-der to study the reasons for the poor passenger flow benefits of suburban railways,the Huairou-Miyun Line of Beijing suburban railway is taken as an example to discuss the characteristics of passenger flow in the initial period of the line's opening and the main problems that existed in the operation process,includ-ing the mismatch between the line operation plan and the passenger flow demand,insufficient competitive-ness,the poor conditions of transportation connection at some stations,and the impact of the development progress of Huairou Science City and the shuttle buses.In response to these problems,the paper proposes improvement measures such as optimizing the route plan,extending the route to the city center,improving transportation connection facilities,and introducing customized buses.The effect of the line improvement is evaluated by comparing the changes in passenger flow before and after the line improvement.The re-sults show that after the application of improvement measures,the passenger flow volume of the line has been significantly improved,and the proportion of commuting passengers has also increased significantly.
