Research on the Dominate Transport Distance of High-Speed Railway

Article Preview

Abstract:

High-speed railway is recognized as a fast, safe, comfortable, low-power, and large volumes of new transportation mode. This paper proposes a dominate transport distance model with the consideration of origin-destination distance, travelling purpose, income, time value and transport preference. A numerical experiment indicates that km is the most attractive distance for the high-speed railway. In km, the air plane occupies most passenger market. The high-speed railway has no advantage when the distance is longer than 1600 km.
