Urban-rural Transit Demand Analysis Based On Rural Resident’s Trip Characterisdics

With the constant improvement on the level of urbanization, urban and rural regional economy is rapidly developing in our country. Since some economic active regions between urban-rural areas increased a lot of jobs, travel demand is more and more urgent and travel characteristics are becoming various. However, it is unclear that the individual characteristics of rural presidents and the space and time laws of urban-rural travel activity. The demand differences between the internal city traffic and urban-rural traffic have not deeply researched.Breaking the urban-rural dual structure to develop integration, urban-rural public transportation as a new mode of public transport services, comes into an important development stage. Present researches of urban-rural public transportation are mostly based on the existing rural passenger transport planning, lacking systematism and pertinence. This study summarized the theoretical method of traffic behavior and analyzed travel characteristics. After Combing the present situation and problems of China’s urban-rural transit, this paper compared the similarities and differences between urban-rural transit, urban public transport and rural passenger transport, then described the characteristics of urban-rural transit and some challenges need to face the in the current and future a period.This urban-rural transit demand research, on the basis of questionnaire survey data, analyzed the rural residents’ individualities, family attributes and urban-rural transit intentions.Understanding the rural residents’ urban-rural travel behavior and temporalspatial characteristics, the paper compared the analysis of the similarities and differences between internal city traffic and urban-rural traffic. In addition, this paper introduces the economic geographical position analysis method, innovatively reflected the influence of economic change with time and relative location to the urban-rural transit demand. Based on the structural equation theory, the paper defined significant factors of urban-rural transit demand to establish the urban-rural transit demand model. Analyzing the Influence of orientation and degree between observed and latent variables, the study parsed rural residents’ urban-rural transit purpose. The research for specific demand characteristics of urban-rural transit has significant meaning for scientific urban-rural transit planning.
