Abstract

Abstract

Traffic mode choice models for commuting corridor were established, and the impact of public transport fare on the travel mode structure of commuting corridor was analyzed.Considering the multiple end access modes of public transport, the travel mode choice NL models containing combined travel mode were proposed respectively for commuters with or without cars.The commuting corridor along Subway Line 5 in Beijing was taken as an example, and the precisions of NL models were examined with actual data.On the basis of the consideration of public transport capacity constraint, the travel mode share rate and public transport load factors with different single traffic mode fares and combined fares were analyzed by using NL models, the rationalities of travel mode structure under different fares were evaluated according to capacityutilization rate and service level of public transport.Analysis result shows that the fare adjustment policy in Beijing can improve the capacity utilization rate of bus, but the effect on load factors of subway is limited.When the bus fares are 0.01-0.06 yuan·km^-1, or the subway fares are 0.32-0.42 yuan·km^-1 in the commuting corridor, the average peak hour load factors of bus are 60%-65%, and the peak hour load factors of Subway Line 5 in Beijing are 86%-100%, which shows that while the capacity utilization rate of public transport is kept in a certain level, the service level of public transport is improved, the share rate of car remains the status quo, and car trip volumes don't increase greatly.When the constraints of bus fare and subway fare are satisfied in the commuting corridor, the average peak hour load factors of bus are 58%-80%, the peak hour load factors of Subway Line 5 in Beijing are 86%-100%, and the growth rate of share rate of car is less than 5%.The fare adjustment can improve the travel mode structure of commuting corridor.
