The Evaluation of Comprehensive Transportation System in Inner Mongolia Based on Principal Component Analysis

Abstract:

Based on the relevant data of comprehensive transportation system in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 1990 to 2011, the transport equipment, transport mileage, transport capacity, and the transport share of the total economic output in four aspects are studied. Then we select 13 indicators to build the evaluation of comprehensive transportation system in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Using SPSS17.0 software to perform the principal component analysis could get the evaluation of the development of comprehensive transportation system in Inner Mongolia, which has maintained rapid development in the past 22 years, especially after 2003, higher than previous years. It is in accordance with the current transportation development of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, next we verify the feasibility of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on transportation problem. The method also has theoretical significance of research on relevant aspects of other areas.
