Busway Capability Study In Mountain Cites

With the vigorous development of the national economy, the process of urbanization continues to accelerate, the urban population grew significantly and highly concentrated, rapid expansion of demand for transport, urban traffic congestion appeared frequently. Mountainous cities because of its unique topography, land resources are limited strain on the resources of the road, at the same time the mountain city residents due to the different way to travel and other Plain City urban traffic problems are more serious. Currently, there are many problems in the city’s public transport modes, the mountain, the system is inefficient, the service quality is very poor, it can not provide efficient, comfortable, convenient urban public transport for the urban residents. With the development of the mountain city’s economy, the progresses of the urbanization, in order to meet the travelling needs of residents in mountainous city, it is necessary to analyze the development of urban public transport modes mountainous.This paper aims at the characteristics of the mountain city and the problems that mountain urban public transport faced, through the comparative analysis to analyze the four common modes of public transport which concludes the rapid transit, regular bus, subway, light rail, making use of multi-attribute decision model to found the mountainous urban public transport development selection mode model. Finally, through a case study in Chongqing this paper shows that:bus lanes can not suite for such a large mountain city of Chongqing, while using the passenger traffic forecasting model tests the results. However, due to the limited case studies, it can not be determined whether the small and medium sized mountain city can develop the rapid transit lanes.The author hopes to provide a reference for the development of China’s mountainous city bus lanes through this research.
