Evaluation Method of Coupling between Urban Spatial Structure and Public Transport System

Abstract

It is beneficial to adjust and improve urban public transport system based on urban spatial heterogeneity and urban spatial distribution of transit-oriented development through establishing reasonable evaluation indexes and evaluation method of coupling development between urban spatial structure and public transport system. Based on the inner connection between urban spatial structure and public transport system, the selection principle of evaluation indexes is determined from 5 aspects, such as reflecting the combination of urban planning and traffic planning, the dynamic development strategy of traffic mode, reasonable coordination of various public transport modes in space, the tendency of public transport policy and reasonable management mode. Based on the principle of index selection, the indexes are determined from the perspective of the mutual development of urban spatial structure and public transport. Fully combining the theory of urban design, transportation planning and economics, a set of effective evaluation system is set up, and the relationship between urban public transport and urban spatial is expressed more intuitively. Through the dimensionless treatment of the indexes and the determination of the weight, the coupling degree between urban spatial structure and public transport system is calculated and analyzed from a quantitative point of view.
