Determining the range of bus connection to rail transit considering individual perception
To ensure the operational efficiency of rail transit,a study was conducted on the bus connection range of rail stations.Based on questionnaire survey data,the distribution characteristics of individual travel perception in different rail travel time scenarios,including the distribution characteristics of travel psychology and distance attenuation,were analyzed.The correlation between acceptable feeder time and travel time on rail segments was determined,and the disaggregate price sensitivity model was used to calculate the spatiotemporal threshold for bus feeder under different scenarios of travel time on rail segments.The results show that the acceptable bus feeder time increases non-linearly with the travel time on rail segments,and the growth rate gradually slows down.The relationship between the two can be fitted using a logarithmic model with an R2 value of 0.83.For travelers with rail segment travel times of 10 minutes,20 minutes,30 minutes,40 minutes,60 minutes,and 80 minutes,the acceptable range for bus feeder is 1.65 km,2.4 km,3.51 km,4.86 km,5.79 km,and 6.36 km,respectively.Taking Jinan's Metro Line 2 as an example,the bus feeder range for 19 rail stations was calculated,and the stations located in the outer areas of the city have relatively larger bus feeder ranges.
