Study on the layout of light rapid transit station connecting bus line based on GIS network analysis -- Taking Glasgow City as an example

Abstract

Abstract As the main body of the city’s public passenger transportation system, light rail and conventional buses are effective supplements to improve the passenger transportation network of the rail transit system. Therefore, the coordinated development of rail transit and conventional bus systems has a great effect on expanding the scope of rail passenger flow attraction. Through the network analysis tool of GIS, the service scope of public transport in Glasgow City is calculated, and through the analysis of population density, the areas where the light rapid transit station service is not available and the bus transport needs to be connected to provide service are identified. Then the location and configuration model is used to choose out three key bus stations and two key LRT stations to create connection lines. Finally, this paper studies the shared bicycle delivery point, and the points are set in the area with high population density, so as to solve the problem of “the last kilometer” of residents’ travel. Through the above research on the layout of public transport, it can provide a reference for the development of public transport in Glasgow.
