Research on Regional Development of Rail Transit -- Taking Guangfo Metro as an example

Abstract

The shortest path model is selected to evaluate the regional traffic accessibility. Three index factors, gross regional product, total retail sales of consumer goods, and the number of permanent residents in the region, were selected, and the weight sum was given by entropy weight method to evaluate the regional economic intensity. The gravity model adding the regional accessibility index considering traffic factors is selected to evaluate the regional linkages. By integrating the three indexes, an evaluation index system of rail transit benefits is formed to study the utility of rail transit to the economic development of surrounding areas, and to provide scientific theoretical basis and guidance for the government to carry out urban construction and rail transit management.
