[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a flow chart of steps S101-S105 of the method for calculating the competitiveness of rail transit modes based on Internet map data provided in an embodiment of the present application, which will be combined with Figure 1 Steps S101-S105 are shown for explanation.

[0043] In step S101, a plurality of reference points are determined in the target area; wherein the reference points represent the starting and ending points of travel in the target area, and the reference points are determined based on at least one of the urban spatial structure, transportation hub, and passenger flow attraction points of the target area.

[0044] First, multiple benchmark points are selected within the target area. These benchmark points represent the starting and ending points for travelers. The selection of benchmark points is based on the target area's urban spatial structure (e.g., old city center, new district center), transportation hubs (e.g., subway transfer stations, train stations, airports), and passenger flow attractions (e.g., commercial centers, business office centers).

[0045] In step S102, influencing factors of the travel mode are determined; wherein the influencing factors include at least travel time and travel cost.

[0046] Next, identify the main factors influencing travel mode choice. These factors should include, at a minimum, travel time and travel cost. Travel time refers to the time required to travel from your starting point to your destination, while travel cost covers transportation costs and other possible costs (such as parking fees, tolls, etc.).

[0047] In step S103, a travel mode utility function is constructed based on the influencing factors; wherein the utility function is used to quantify the attractiveness or utility value of different travel modes to travelers.

[0048] Here, based on the above influencing factors, a travel mode utility function can be constructed. This utility function aims to quantify the attractiveness or utility value of different travel modes to travelers.

[0049] In step S104, actual travel data between each rail station and each reference point under different travel modes is determined based on the Internet map information data, and travel utility results are determined based on the actual travel data and the utility function.

[0050] Here, we use internet map data, such as real-time route planning services for cars and public transportation, to obtain actual travel data between each rail station and each benchmark point under different travel modes. This actual travel data is input into the travel mode utility function to calculate the utility results of each travel mode between each benchmark point pair.

[0051] In step S105, the mode competitiveness of the traveler's choice of rail transit is calculated based on the travel utility result; wherein the mode competitiveness of the rail transit mode represents the competitiveness of the rail transit mode relative to other modes of transportation.

[0052] Finally, based on the travel utility results, the mode competitiveness of each travel mode is calculated. These mode competitiveness reflect the likelihood of travelers choosing a certain travel mode under given conditions, thus obtaining the mode competitiveness of rail transit.

[0053] This approach provides a quantitative means of evaluating the competitiveness of different transportation modes by comprehensively considering factors such as the target area's urban spatial structure, transportation hubs, passenger flow attraction points, and travel time and cost. By constructing a travel mode utility function and collecting actual travel data, it is possible to calculate travelers' preferences for different modes, providing a scientific basis for transportation planning and policy formulation.

[0054] In some embodiments, constructing a travel mode utility function based on the influencing factors includes:

[0055] Quantifying the utility brought by different travel modes to travelers based on the utility function to obtain the travel mode utility function;

[0056] Among them, the travel mode utility function is:

[0057] U=a×T+b×C;

[0058] Wherein, U represents utility, T represents the travel time, C represents the travel cost, a is the first weight coefficient, and b is the second weight coefficient.

[0059] The weight coefficients a and b are determined based on factors such as the research context, data characteristics, and traveler preferences. They reflect the relative importance travelers place on time and cost. For example, if the absolute value of a is greater than that of b, travel time has a greater influence on the traveler's choice; conversely, if the absolute value of b is greater, travel cost has a greater influence on the choice.

[0060] In addition, the weight coefficients a and b in the model usually need to be determined through statistical methods (such as regression analysis, survey data fitting, etc.). These methods can be based on actual travel data and use calculations and analysis to obtain the weight coefficient values ​​that best suit the actual situation.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a flow chart of steps S201-S202 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The first weight coefficient represents the degree of influence on the utility when the travel time changes by one unit, and the second weight coefficient represents the degree of influence on the utility when the travel cost changes by one unit. The method also includes steps S201-S202, which will be explained in combination with each step.

[0062] In step S201 , traveler data is collected; wherein the traveler data represents the degree to which travelers attach importance to different factors, and the collection method includes a questionnaire survey.

[0063] In step S202 , the first weight coefficient and the second weight coefficient are determined based on the traveler data.

[0064] Here, the first weight coefficient (a) represents the degree of influence on the utility (U) when the travel time changes by one unit, and the second weight coefficient (b) represents the degree of influence on the utility (U) when the travel cost changes by one unit.

[0065] In addition, traveler data can be collected to determine these weight coefficients. This traveler data reflects the importance that travelers place on different factors and is the key to determining the weight coefficients. Methods for collecting this data can include questionnaires.

[0066] Questionnaire surveys are a direct way to elicit traveler preferences. A well-designed questionnaire can be used to ask travelers how much they prioritize time and cost when choosing a transportation mode. The questionnaire can include multiple questions covering personal characteristics (such as age, gender, and occupation), travel purpose, travel distance, travel time preferences, and cost sensitivity. Statistical analysis of the questionnaire data can reveal the degree to which different factors influence traveler choice, thereby determining weighting coefficients.

[0067] Once the traveler data is collected, an appropriate method is needed to determine the weight coefficient. Common methods include:

[0068] Regression analysis: Using the collected data, a regression model can be constructed to estimate the weight coefficients. The regression model can be linear or nonlinear, depending on the characteristics of the data and the purpose of the study.

[0069] Discrete choice models: Discrete choice models (such as the Logit model and the Probit model) are statistical models specifically designed to process choice behavior data. These models can describe travelers' choice behavior based on a utility function and estimate weight coefficients by maximizing the likelihood function.

[0070] Machine learning methods: If the data volume is large and the relationships are complex, you can consider using machine learning methods to estimate the weight coefficients. Machine learning methods (such as neural networks and support vector machines) can automatically learn the complex relationships in the data and provide estimated values ​​for the weight coefficients.

[0071] It should be noted that the method for determining the weight coefficient should be selected based on the characteristics of the data and the purpose of the research. Different methods may produce different results, so it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors to determine the final weight coefficient.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of steps S301-S302 provided in an embodiment of the present application, which determines the actual travel data between each rail station and each benchmark point under different travel modes based on Internet map information data, and determines the travel utility result based on the actual travel data and the travel mode utility function. This can be achieved through steps S301-S303, which will be explained in conjunction with each step.

[0073] In step S301, travel-related data is collected from the Internet map information data, and the travel-related data is cleaned; wherein the Internet map information includes at least one of an Internet map service and a real-time route planning service for cars and public transportation.

[0074] In step S302, the travel-related data is matched with the travel routes between each rail station and each reference point, and classified according to the travel mode to obtain the actual travel data between each rail station and each reference point under different travel modes.

[0075] In step S303, the actual travel data is substituted into the travel mode utility function to obtain the travel utility result. The travel utility result U i =a×T+b×C, where U i The utility function for a traveler to choose travel mode i, where i represents the travel mode.

[0076] Here, travel-related data is collected from at least one channel such as Internet map services and real-time route planning services for cars and public transportation. The collected data is preprocessed to remove duplicate, invalid and noisy data to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data.

[0077] The travel data is then matched to the travel routes between each rail station and each benchmark point to determine the starting and ending points of each trip record. Based on the characteristics of the travel data (such as vehicle type and travel trajectory), travel modes are classified into different categories (such as bus, subway, and car). For each travel mode, the actual travel time and cost between each rail station and each benchmark point are calculated. Finally, the calculated travel time and cost data are integrated to form a complete actual travel data set.

[0078] Next, we will substitute the collected actual travel data into the travel mode utility function constructed previously. The specific form of the model is:

[0079] U i =a×T+b×C

[0080] in:

[0081] U i Represents the utility function of the traveler choosing travel mode i.

[0082] a and b are weight coefficients previously determined by statistical methods or expert evaluation, and they respectively represent the degree of influence of travel time and travel cost on utility.

[0083] T represents the travel time required for the traveler to choose travel mode i.

[0084] C represents the travel cost required for the traveler to choose travel mode i.

[0085] By inputting specific travel data (such as a traveler's actual travel time and cost), we can calculate the utility value of the traveler choosing different travel modes. These utility values ​​can be used to compare the attractiveness of different travel modes or to further calculate the competitiveness of each travel mode chosen by the traveler.

[0086] In summary, by utilizing internet map data, we can collect and process large amounts of travel-related data in real time or near real time, ensuring its accuracy and timeliness. By substituting this data into the travel mode utility function, we can obtain the utility results of travelers choosing different travel modes. These results not only help us understand travelers' choice behavior but also provide useful references for transportation planning and policy making.

[0087] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a flow chart of steps S401-S402 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The competitiveness of the travel mode selected by the traveler based on the travel utility result can be calculated through steps S401-S402, which will be explained in combination with each step.

[0088] In step S401 , it is assumed that the traveler's choice is based on the utility result.

[0089] In step S402 , the competitiveness of the travel mode selected by the traveler is calculated based on the Logit model and the utility results.

[0090] Here, utility indicates that when choosing a travel mode, travelers tend to choose those with the lowest cost and highest utility. Utility here is a comprehensive concept that may include a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, such as travel time, travel cost, comfort, and safety. In the previous step, we calculated the utility values ​​of different travel modes using the travel mode utility function.

[0091] The logit model is a discrete choice model widely used in analyzing choice behavior. It predicts mode competitiveness by calculating the relative utility (i.e., utility difference) of different options based on utility results. In the logit model, the mode competitiveness of a traveler's choice of rail transit represents the competitiveness of rail transit relative to other modes of transportation. The mode competitiveness of a traveler's choice of rail transit is expressed as:

[0092]

[0093] in:

[0094] P i It represents the competitiveness of the traveler's choice of travel mode i.

[0095] U i It represents the utility value of the traveler choosing travel mode i. This value is usually calculated through the travel mode utility function, which integrates multiple factors such as travel time, travel cost, comfort, and safety.

[0096] It represents the exponential sum of the utility values ​​of all optional travel modes for the traveler. This summation operation is performed on all possible travel modes i.

[0097] A key feature of this formula is that, by converting utility values ​​into modal competitiveness, it ensures that the sum of the modal competitiveness of all travel modes is 1. This conforms to the basic principles of modal competitiveness theory and allows us to conduct further analysis and decision-making based on these modal competitiveness values.

[0098] In practical applications, we usually calculate the utility value U for each possible travel mode i of the traveler. i , and then substitute it into the above formula to calculate the competitiveness P of the selected method iThese mode competitiveness values ​​can be used to evaluate the competitiveness of different transportation modes, predict traffic flow, and optimize transportation network layout.

[0099] It’s important to note that while the Logit model offers high flexibility and accuracy in calculating the competitiveness of alternatives, its effectiveness also relies on the accuracy of the utility function and the reliability of the data. Therefore, when applying the Logit model, we need to ensure that the utility function truly reflects travelers’ preferences and behaviors and that the collected data is accurate and complete.

[0100] In summary, the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0101] (1) Improving the scientific nature of transportation planning: This embodiment of the application first identifies benchmark points in the target area. These benchmark points accurately reflect the characteristics of the region's travel origins and destinations, providing clear spatial positioning for subsequent transportation planning. By constructing a travel mode utility function and substituting actual travel data, the utility of different travel modes can be quantified, thereby more scientifically evaluating the competitiveness and attractiveness of various transportation modes.

[0102] (2) Improve the accuracy and timeliness of travel data analysis: By utilizing Internet map information data, the embodiments of the present application can collect and process a large amount of travel-related data in real time or near real time, including travel time, cost, mode, etc., thereby greatly improving the accuracy and timeliness of travel data analysis. Compared with traditional data collection methods, such as questionnaires or manual statistics, Internet map information data has a higher coverage rate and update frequency, and can more comprehensively reflect the actual travel situation of travelers. It can more accurately understand the needs and behavior patterns of travelers, and provide strong support for formulating more reasonable traffic policies, optimizing traffic resource allocation, and providing personalized travel services.

[0103] (3) Enhance the targeted nature of traffic management: Based on the competitiveness of the modes of travel chosen by travelers, it is possible to identify which modes of transportation are more popular with travelers and which modes need to be improved or optimized, providing a clear direction for urban traffic management and helping managers to formulate effective management strategies and measures for specific problems.

[0104] (4) Data-based support for policy making: The competitiveness of travel modes obtained through the implementation of this application provides strong data support for relevant agencies to formulate transportation policies. Based on this data, policymakers can more accurately predict the effects of policy implementation and thus formulate transportation policies that better meet actual needs.

[0105] (5) Promote the optimization and upgrading of transportation modes: By comparing the utility and competitiveness of different travel modes, we can discover the advantages and disadvantages of different transportation modes, provide clear guidance for the optimization and upgrading of transportation modes, and help promote innovation and development in the transportation industry.

[0106] (6) Improving travelers’ satisfaction: The travel mode utility function obtained by implementing this application can reflect the degree to which travelers attach importance to different factors, thereby providing more personalized travel suggestions, which helps to improve travelers’ satisfaction and promote the development of urban transportation.

[0107] (7) Enhance the applicability and flexibility of the method: The implementation of this application is not only applicable to urban transportation planning and management, but can also be extended to other areas of transportation research, such as regional transportation, intercity transportation, etc. At the same time, with the continuous accumulation of data and the continuous advancement of technology, the method can also be continuously optimized and improved to adapt to the ever-changing transportation needs and traveler behavior.

[0108] In summary, the rail transit competitiveness calculation method based on Internet map data has shown significant beneficial effects in improving the scientific nature of transportation planning, enhancing the targeted nature of transportation management, supporting the data-based policy making, promoting the optimization and upgrading of transportation modes, and improving travelers' satisfaction.
