Abstract
To efficiently organize and optimize travel modes, meet safe, convenient and comfortable travel requirements for passengers, and promote the sound development of transportation infrastructure on rural highways, this paper reviews the common location selection methods for highway passenger stations, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of existing methods. Using rural highway passenger station as the research subject, we proposed a scientific, systematic and practical method for location selection based on GIS (Geographic Information System) technology. At the same time, we used AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) to establish, and to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the model—in a scientific and rational framework—to determine the location of the stations. Location input data collected by this method are comprehensive, accurate and quickly-calculated. The entire site selection process is visualized in the form of pictures, which provides a method and theoretical reference value in the future for site selection construction on Rural Highway Transportation Service Facilities. Herein, this paper uses passenger stations as a research object and uses the stated methods above to achieve the desired results.
Highlights
With the gradual improvement of the status of the transportation industry in the Chinese national economy, the central government is providing strong support for the construction of highway passenger transportation hubs and related facilities
This method of location selection can provide some theoretical guidance for other site selections in the future
Combined with the evaluation results obtained by the analytic hierarchy process, the candidate point H7 is determined as the site of the West Passenger Station
Summary
With the gradual improvement of the status of the transportation industry in the Chinese national economy, the central government is providing strong support for the construction of highway passenger transportation hubs and related facilities During this construction process, the locations of these transportation infrastructure sites will be critical to the future development of road infrastructure and passenger transportation. Reducing energy consumption and emissions of vehicles, optimizing rural and urban traffic-oriented strategies, and achieving harmony between urban and rural transportation development and land use (Lili, 2013), this research can promote the development of rural transportation and optimize the way that people travel This method of location selection can provide some theoretical guidance for other site selections in the future
