Methods of Access Utility Calculation and Analysis of the Main Railway Station in Metropolis

Abstract:

According to insufficient account of the proposed zoning rules in the city in previous researches of intercity trips, this paper proposed the corresponding access traffic network and the required variables of the city, district, town or subdistrict and block zone levels of the city. Furthermore, it provided the model of access utility and analyzed its difference of constitution with different zone levels. In addition, it put forward a method to analyze the difference among the zone levels by calculating the deviation of the access time and the total access cost in different zone level. It is concluded that the town or subdistrict zone is the reasonable zoning rule. Using the road network as the simplified bus network can meet the accuracy requirement, and reduce a lot of work. At last, through the case analysis, it verified the effectiveness of the method, and provided the basis for the prediction of share ratios of intercity trip.
