Abstract
In this paper, by quantifying the value of public transportation travel benefits of ordinary travel groups, economically disadvantaged groups, and physiologically disadvantaged groups, this paper establishes a public transportation travel benefit evaluation index system, uses a questionnaire survey method to collect index data within Beijing, and establishes a TOPSIS model. Based on the travel benefit values of the three groups, the benefit compensation for disadvantaged traffic groups is considered, benefit compensation factors are introduced, the degree of equalization is evaluated based on the Wilson entropy model, and the level of equalization among public transportation service groups in Beijing is empirically studied to find out an important indicator that restricts the level of equalization.
Highlights
Public transportation is a basic demand in people's daily life
Assuming that the distribution of benefits brought by urban transportation public services among different groups conforms to the Wilson entropy distribution, a Wilson entropy model can be established to measure the equality of this benefit distribution
Based on the analysis of indicator barriers and the travel benefits of the three groups calculated in the previous article, it is found that the economically disadvantaged groups have the highest travel benefits, the ordinary travel groups are in the middle, and the physiologically disadvantaged groups are the lowest.The main reason is that the economically disadvantaged groups have the most travel subsidies
Summary
Public transportation is a basic demand in people's daily life. Public transportation service is a social public service provided by the government to all residents. Vulnerable groups have travel barriers due to their inconveniences, which are very important for public transportation and service quality. Have special requirements, such as the lack of barrier-free facilities and the loss of public transportation rights; economically disadvantaged groups include low-income groups and student groups who enjoy government subsidies for public transportation. Because of their weak ability to bear the price of transportation services, their travel methods are economically restricted and the level of space accessibility is low.
