Elasticity Analysis of Intercity Rail Transit Ticket Price Demand Based on the Equilibrium Assignment Model
There is competition among various means of transport in intercity passenger transport market.The ticket price of in-tercity rail transit directly affects the passenger flow distribution of various means transportation in the corridor,i.e.,the elas-ticity of ticket price.To clarify this relationship,this paper constructs a travel choice function by determining the influencing factors of intercity passenger travel choice,and under the condition of conservation of the total passenger flow in the channel,a balanced allocation model based on the elasticity of ticket price demand is constructed.Based on the survey and operation data of the intercity channel between Xi'an North Passenger Station and the airport,the model is used to calculate the elastic value of ticket demand of each vehicle in the intercity channel itself and among these transportation methods under the condition of the conservation of the total passenger flow of the channel,and the ticket price of intercity rail transit is used as a variable to calcu-late the changing law of the passenger flow and elastic value of each vehicle in the channel under the change of the ticket price.The results are in line with the actual situation.The validity and rationality of the algorithm are verified.
