小城镇交通系统特征分析及其在公共交通规划中的应用研究

在众多小城镇分类标准中,对小城镇的概念及定义做了明确界定,分析了小城镇的几个重要特征,即社会经济水平、土地利用特征、居民出行特征、公交需求特征和供给特征。采集了一些典型小城镇的交通特征指标,并就这些特征指标值和大中城市做了相应对比,明确了小城镇概念及其交通系统特性。重点关注目前我国小城镇公交发展的实际情况,结合小城镇公交运行的实际情况,给出小城镇公交线网规划指标的推荐数值。 

Analysis of the Characteristics of Transportation System of Small Cities and Towns and Corresponding Implications in Public Transportation Planning

First of all ,this paper studies the definition and the concept of small city /town based on a study of many different classification criteria .Second ,this paper analyzes the key characteristics of small cities and towns ,including so-cioeconomic status ,land-use density / distribution ,residential travel and transit demand and supply .Then ,a set of indi-ces are developed to quantify the characteristics of the transportation systems of the small cities and towns ,which then are compared with those for big and middle-size cities .This helps further clarify the concept of small cities /towns and the fea-tures of transportation systems of them are identified .At last ,considering the transit development in small cites and towns ,a set of recommended indicators for optimizing transit network planning process are provided .
