The Study Of Customized City Bus Service

At present, most cities are taking the big pie of development that large living arealocated in the suburb of the city, and gathered in the city center to become commercial,cultural, political, and financial center complex. With the development of nationaleconomy, urban motorization levels increased significantly, residents travel modeconsistent with the same trend, which the proportion of ground public transport hasstabilized, subway travel increased substantially. Individual private car travel rosesharply after a few years and the proportion is always maintained at a high level. Onthe one hand, the city center and the peripheral region of residence commutingdemand growing more and more; on the other hand, the proportion of private cars inurban traffic surge. Urban transport has been overwhelmed with the two factors. Atthe same time, the urban environment is getting worse because the traffic environmentbecame severe.Enlarge the size of bus and subway and reduce its fares can’t attract private carowners to switch to public transportation. On the contrary, it will induce more traffictravel demands, resulting in worse congestion. Traffic restriction, limiting purchase,increasing parking fees and other coercive measures implement simple, but the effectis far from satisfactory. Commuting time in workday is very congestion. How toattract private car owners to switch to public transport is the key to controlling theproportion of car trips. Nowadays, bus and subway always crowded. So it can’t attractprivate car owners. Positioned between the city buses and private cars, Customizedcity bus service (CCBS) is able to meet more urban multi-level, diversified passengertravel demand, particularly for private car owners, therefore, improve the road useefficiency and help relieve urban congestion.Empirical research shows from Beijing, CCBS play a significant part in reducethe amount of road traffic reducing stress parking spaces in workplace, energy savingand reduce traffic accident. From Guangzhou and Shenzhen situation can be seen, the other first-tier cities also have demands for CCBS. The empirical research on Xi’analso shows, second-tier cities demand for CCBS as urgent as first-tier cities. Usingbinary logistic regression model to researched on the influencing factors on CCBS.There are3main factors affected passengers accept fares as to whether there is a seat,stops times and commuting distance. Combined Xi’an Hi-tech Zone Social Authorityand Bus Corporation advices, the study also plan a CCBS line which from the easternoutskirts to the high-tech zones. Aiming at operating conditions of CCBS, the studyput forwards the basic principles of developing models for the vehicle. In the sametime, offered the data and technical support for the market of CCBS.
