Abstract:
Based on the study of the relation between traffic development and the accessibility of the cities along Shi-Wu High Speed Rail (HSR) line, this paper, taking Shi-Wu High Speed Rail as example, constructed two models by use of weighted mean travel time and generalized weighed travel time, evaluated the accessibility index values of the cities along the line before and after the opening of high speed rail, and demonstrated the mechanism of the impacts of high speed rail on the accessibility of the cities along the line through quantitative analysis of the impacts of Shi-Wu High Speed Rail on the accessibility of the cities along the line. The results show that the method of weighted mean travel time only considers the shortening of travel time of high speed rail, and the evaluated results prove that the opening of Shi-Wu High Speed Rail has improved the accessibility level by 40%. The method of generalized weighted travel time considers not only the factor of travel time but also the rail fare, and the evaluated results prove that the accessibility level of the cities along Shi-Wu High Speed Rail line has been decreased to 18% due to the factor of rail fare. It’s found out that the discount of rail fare in low season or nonpeak period can be implemented to improve passenger load factor.
