Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic and similar public health emergencies have significantly impacted global travel patterns. Analyzing the recovery characteristics of subway station-level passenger flow during the pandemic recovery phase can offer unique insights into public transportation operations and guide practical planning efforts. This pioneering study constructs a station-level passenger flow recovery resilience (PFRR) index during the rapid recovery phase using subway AFC system swipe data. Additionally, it develops an analytical framework based on a multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model, the improved gray wolf optimization with Levy flight (LGWO), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) regression to analyze passenger flow resilience on weekdays and weekends in relation to land use-related built environment types. Finally, SHAP attribution analysis is used to study the nonlinear relationships between built environment variables and PFRR index. The results show significant spatial heterogeneity in the impact of commercial, recreational, and residential land, as well as POI (points of interest) of leisure and shopping on PFRR. On weekdays, the most relevant built environment variables for PFRR are POI of enterprises and shopping numbers. In contrast, the contribution of built environment variables affecting PFRR of weekend is more balanced, reflecting the recovery of non-essential travel on weekends. Most land use-related built environment variables exhibit nonlinear associations with PFRR values. The proposed analytical framework shows significant performance advantages over other baseline models. This study provides unique insights into subway passenger flow characteristics and surrounding land use-related development layouts under the impact of public health emergencies.
