Development an Urban Rail Transit Network Scale Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

The network scale is an important indicator of the urban rail transit. In order to determine a reasonable scale of rail transit network, this paper analysis the influencing factors of the urban rail transit network scale. Furthermore, the main indicators of the network are summed up and analyzed. And a model of rail transit network scale is proposed based on the traffic demand. Finally, a case study of Xi'an is used to validate the model. The result shows that the model is effective and practical.
