A Study On The Usage Intention Of Car Sharing In High-speed Rail Station Feeder Transportation

The vigorous development of high-speed rail has improved the accessibility of cities,the emergence of car-sharing for travelers to provide new options for urban transportation,high-speed rail and car-sharing combination,can make high-speed rail connection travel mode is perfect,which is "China’s speed" and the sharing economy of a combination.In order to study the travel mode selection behavior of high-speed rail stations connecting with traffic considering car-sharing,the usage intention of "high-speed rail + car-sharing" mode was analyzed,as well as the number of shared cars required for balancing the supply and demand of high-speed rail stations connecting with traffic.This state Preference and RP Stated Preference were randomly sampled in the waiting rooms of three high-speed railway stations,namely Dalian North Railway Station,Changchun West Railway Station and Harbin West Railway Station.MNL(Multinomial Logit Model)is established to analyze the factors affecting the high speed railway station traffic.The results show that waiting time,travel time,cost and deposit all have significant effects on travelers’ choice of transportation mode,and all have negative effects on car-sharing.Travelers in different cities have obvious differences in the choice of feeder transportation modes for high-speed rail stations.The main characteristics of travelers who choose shared cars for high-speed railway station connecting travel include 18 to 50 years old,traveling with others,daily travel by private car,traveling by high-speed railway for tourism,and preference for driving.Based on the method of supply and demand balance,the reasonable fleet size of shared cars under the condition of supply and demand balance is calculated.Taking Dalian North Railway Station as an example,the number of shared cars meeting the demand and supply balance of Dalian North Railway Station is 278～293.This study proves the feasibility of the service mode of "high-speed rail+ car-sharing",and the size of the obtained car-sharing fleet has reference value for the further implementation of the service mode of "high-speed rail+ car-sharing".However,at present,the interviewees’ utilization rate and understanding of car-sharing are low.Therefore,more efforts should be made to publicize car-sharing and improve its service quality.
