The Research On Key Problems About Development Of The Expressway Passenger Transportation

In recent years, expressways in China have developed rapidly with the gradually increasing investment on highway. According to the statistics, the expressways have already covered 29.8 thousand kilometers until the end of 2003, and the expressways net has been built in some cities in eastern China, in addition, the car industry which has been ensured the supporting industry of domestic economic , which have laid good foundations for developing expressway passenger transportation. However, on the whole, "road, station, car" , as the basic composing factors of the expressway passenger transportation system, have developed lopsidedly in recent years, and the whole system of expressway passenger transportation is far from being perfect and is still in the stage of early development because of the restriction of traditional passenger transportation mode and the influence of separation of administrative regions.The expressway passenger transportation in this thesis is confined to the direct passenger transportation, in which the main operation circuit is expressway, and the operational vehicles run from a starting point to destination directly. This thesis focuses on researching "passenger, station, car" in expressway passenger transportation system, that is, the forecasting of expressway passenger transport volume, the siting and distribution of stations, and the deployment of transport capacity. The purpose is to gradually regulate and lead the fast, harmonious, and healthy development of expressway passenger transportation, relying on the research of the three key issues.The forecasting result of the expressway passenger transport volume, as the major evidence for the distribution and siting of stations and the deployment of transport capacity, is of great significance. The research improves the scientific and reasoning aspects through the analysis of the factors that affects expresswaypassenger transport, taking into account the effects of those factors while constructing the forecasting model. Then, the analysis of the principles, steps, and methods of distribution and siting of passenger stations is conducted, theoretical optimizing modes are constructed with the purpose of the largest synthetic economic benefits, qualitative factors are compared, eventually the best realistic site of stations is obtained. Finally, in the research of the transport capacity deployment, the qualifications for admittance to expressway passenger transportation market, the scale of transport capacity, the confirm of structures are illustrated in detail, the basic formula for the scale of transport capacity is constructed with the consideration of the practical operation reality.
