Study on bus connection range of rail station based on travel demand
Determining a reasonable bus connection range is fundamental for planning bus connection routes and optimizing the connection facilities.This paper introduces the concept of potential passenger flow of public transport connection and its identification method.Based on the principle of accessibility consistency,the paper analyzes residents'travel purpose and mines potential passenger flow interest points.Simultaneously,it considers the competition for passenger flow among adjacent stations and proposes a method to determine the reasonable range of public transport connection at stations.The results reveal that based on the land use nature around the stations,the 19 stations of Jinan Metro Line 2 can be categorized into residential,office,commercial and mixed-use.With the evolving travel environment,the travel mode for potential passenger flows in the public transport connection area transitions to a"public transport+rail"combination.Through an analysis of the characteristics of passenger flow travel demands,a reasonable bus connection range for Pengjiazhuang office station is determined,encompassing a fan-shaped area with a radius of 2.43 km.
