Research On Characteristics Of Slow Traffic Access To Urban Rail Transit In Suburb Center Of City

Cites are undertaking rapid urban expansions. Trip distance increases rapidly with motorization, and the condition of city traffic block becomes more and more aggravated. Urban rail transit & TOD are widely considered a preferred public transportation option to tackle the problem of congestion. In any mode of access to urban rail stations, slow traffic mode has the advantages of low energy consumption, low pollution, environmental friendliness, convenience and efficiency. Besides, slow traffic access has a very high proportion of passengers.This paper is to (i) find out the main influencing factors which will affect passengers' behavior during the slow traffic accessing travel, (ii) study the internal mechanism of station level's factors in action, (iii) make suggestions for adjustment of resources reasonably in Dongshan Vice City, which is to improve the percentage of the slow traffic access to stations.Firstly, this paper introduces some related theories of the suburb center, transit-oriented development and land using around rail stations. Then, hierarchical model is developed to fit and analysis walk and the non-motorized vehicle access modes. High proportion of high-intensity exploitation land use and good accessibility to destination are found to improve the percentage of walk access. The number of feeder bus lines and the proportion of resident type land use have negative effects on non-motorized vehicle access percentage's promotion. Finally, there are three perspectives to make some concrete implementation strategy recommendations in Dongshan Vice City:land use mode, pedestrian system and non-motorized vehicle system.
