Abstract:

Research on the influence mechanism of the scale development of urban rail transit networks is conducive to the scientific planning and development of urban rail transit systems and policy formulation by relevant government authorities. This study qualitatively analyzes the influence of five types of subjective and objective multidimensional factors on the scale of the urban rail transit network, and a questionnaire survey is conducted to explore passenger satisfaction in terms of the urban rail transit service. Moreover, the SPSS software is used to analyze the correlation between the seven subjective and objective influencing metrics and the scale of urban rail transit network. Additionally, an influence model of the urban rail network scale is established based on the structural equation. Results show that the model structure and the relationship between the influencing variables are effective. Both subjective and objective influencing variables exert remarkable effects on the scale of the urban rail transit network, consistent with the correlation analysis results. The objective factors exert a stronger impact on the scale of the urban rail transit network than the subjective psychological factors. The tertiary industry output value and the average daily passenger volume exhibit the largest impact value of 0.495, and the passenger satisfaction degree shows the lowest impact value of 0.451. This research can provide theoretical support for the planning and decision-making of urban rail transit development and construction.

Key words: urban rail transit, network scale, subjective and objective factors, questionnaire survey method, structural equation
