Reduction of the Influential Factors of Railway Passenger Demand Based on Rough Set

Abstract

In the background of the development of global low-carbon economy, to blossom the low-carbon transport is necessary for every country. Railway is recognized as a green transport with low-power consumption, less pollution, which is one of the most important infrastructures developed actively around the world. With the approaching era of high-speed railway, railway passenger demand has been paid much more attention. As passengers with different trip purposes are influenced by different factors when choosing means of transport, this paper will classify passengers by trip purposes and find the main influential factors according to different types of passengers with the aid of rough set. Then put forward initiatives aimed at improving passenger satisfaction, and enhance the positive attitude of passengers towards rail transportation.

Passenger Sharing of the High-Speed Railway from Sensitivity Analysis Caused by Price and Run-time Based on the Multi-Agent System

“…To start with, a host of passengers who choose high-speed -1217-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -http://dx.doi.org/10.3926/jiem.904 railway are rigid demanders. In the survey we conducted in 2010 (Ma, Xu, Xie & Li, 2011), we designed 28 questions involved indexes about ticket fare and speed to study what factors influence passenger most. Among passengers who take high-speed railway, the proportion of higher income earners (people whose monthly income are greater than 5000) is 56.25% and 28.8% of them are on business at public expense.…”
