Determination and Characterization of Competing Behaviors Between Online Ride-hailing and Metro
Ride-hailing as a new type of shared transportation travel mode,the number of placements and the scale of users have risen significantly in recent years due to its convenient booking methods.At the same time,it has brought non-negligible impacts on public transportation.To scientifically evaluate the competition and cooperation behaviors between ride-hailing and Metro,this study uses two days of DiDi travel orders in Shanghai as the data basis,improved the model for determining competition and cooperation behaviors,and conducts coordinate matching for the service stations and entrances/exits of Shanghai's Metro.Ride-hailing trips are classified into four categories:time-complementary,space-complementary,substite,and extended.On this basis,a comparative analysis of the travel time,distance,cost,congestion segment ratio,and OD spatial distribution characteristics of the four types of ride-hailing trips is conducted.Finally,targeting substite ride-hailing trips,a utility function is established to calculate the travel utility of ride-hailing and Metro,to determine whether ride-hailing can bring higher benefits to travelers for trips that can be completed by Metro.The results show that nearly ninety percent of ride-hailing travel utilities are lower than Metro.Scientifically defining the competitive and complementary behaviors between ride-hailing and Metro and assessing their impacts is a prerequisite for their coordinated development.
