Abstract

Under the overall strategic guidance of emission peaks and carbon neutrality, an increasing number of cities are focusing on sustainable transportation development as an important measure for sustainable transportation development. Transit-oriented development (TOD) can guide residents to green trip options and reduce the dependence on private cars. Many cities have qualitatively reduced the parking allocation index of office buildings around rail stations, and quantitative research on the influence area and degree of TOD is lacking. This paper selects office buildings in the rail transit station influence area as the research object, puts forward the TOD measurement method of rail transit stations based on the improved “Node-Place” model, and clusters the stations under different measurement indices by the K-means algorithm. For different types of stations, the multinomial logit (MNL) model is used to build different types of trip mode split models to put forward the reduction calculation method of the parking allocation index of office buildings in the rail transit station influence area. Finally, this paper applies the revision of Nanjing’s allocation index in 2019, and the TOD measurement is identified through the “Node-Place-Connection” model. The optimized calculation method of the parking allocation index for office buildings is proposed. The results indicate that the method can reduce parking allocations to encourage the use of green transportation and guide the construction of urban sustainable transportation systems.

Vancouver has reduced the parking allocation index of residential buildings around bus hubs by 14–28% [4], and the office building parking demand rate in the transit-oriented development (TOD) development zone in California has decreased by 12–60%, compared with other areas [5]
Guangzhou advised that the parking allocation index of office buildings within 500 m of the urban rail transit station center can be reduced by 15%, and Suzhou announced that in parking zone A, the parking allocation index of office buildings located near the station entrance can be reduced, and those within 300 m of the station can be reduced by 70%

Summary

Introduction

Received: 28 January 2022According to IEA (International Energy Agency) statistics, in China’s carbon emission composition in 2018, the transportation industry produced 10% and was the third largest emission source. Under the overall strategic guidance of emission peaks and carbon neutrality, the concept of urban transit-oriented development (TOD) began to be popularized. The buildings in the TOD area advocate public transport orientation, reducing car travel and parking demand by improving rail transit accessibility, and land-use mix to control parking supply. Some solutions have been provided to support the efficient functioning of sustainable transportation development. Macioszek [1] found that the construction of P&R parking can solve road traffic problems and promote the sustainable development of urban transportation. Vancouver has reduced the parking allocation index of residential buildings around bus hubs by 14–28% [4], and the office building parking demand rate in the TOD development zone in California has decreased by 12–60%, compared with other areas [5]. McDonnell et al [6] found that the parking
