Evaluation and Improvement Strategies of Non-motorized Transportation System in Rail Station Areas under Two Dimensions

Large capacity, rapid, environmentally friendly and intensive rail transit is often the skeleton of mega-city transportation systems, and an efficient rail transit system must have a perfect feeder system, in which non-motorized transportation represented by walking and cycling is getting more and more attention as the most promising green and low-carbon transportation mode. This paper combines the quantitative indexes of non-motorized transportation with spatial analysis, constructs a comprehensive evaluation method with two-dimensional comparison, and selects two types of typical stations in Shanghai as cases - business-oriented Jing'an Temple Station and resident-oriented Anshan Xincun Station, and evaluates the non-motorized system in these two types of station areas from two dimensions. As the result shows, the values of quantitative factors are mapped on the spatial characteristics of non-motorized transportation, and in general, Jing'an Temple Station is better than Anshan Xincun Station in terms of quantitative indexes such as road network morphology, convenience and safety, as well as spatial morphology indexes such as integration and connectivity. The corresponding optimization strategies are proposed to address the differences in non-motorized transportation.
