Abstract:

To analyze the influence of the transit accessibility of stops on the travel mode choices of suburban residents, the number of the lines passing by the stops within an accessible range of the resident origin and destination(OD)points and the average waiting time are used as the indexes of the transit accessibility of stops. Due to the correlation between travel time and accessible range, the transit accessibility of stops is contrasted as piecewise variables constrained by travel time. Taking the Jimei District of Xiamen, China, as an example, a binary logistic regression model of the suburban travel mode choice is constructed. The results show that it is necessary to construct transit accessibility of stops as piecewise variables. With a higher transit accessibility of stops, more residents will choose public transport. The choice of the travel mode is correlated with family attributes and personal characteristics. Morning and evening peak hours and travel distance have little effect on the choice of travel mode. Compared with the travel in urban areas, residents often chose public transport for travel within the suburbs. This research provides a basis for encouraging public transportation priority policies and decision making for transport planners in the suburbs.
