Title
Nonlinear effects of the built environment on metro-integrated ridesourcing usage
Author
Abstract
Although ridesourcing has served as an emerging feeder mode to the metro system to solve the first/last-mile issue, research on metro-integrated ridesourcing usage is rather limited. This paper applies a gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) method to investigate the nonlinear relationship between the built environment and metro-originated and metro-destinated usage, using ridesourcing trip record data. The results show that built environment factors (i.e., density, diversity, and destination accessibility) have significant nonlinear and threshold effects on the integrated usage, which differentiate between weekdays and weekends. Different patterns are also observed between metro-originated and metro-destinated usage. Employment density has a more significantly positive effect on weekday metro-originated usage than metro-destinated usage. The distance to metro stations does exist an effective range. These findings could help not only transportation network companies optimize ridesourcing services but also transportation planners formulate tailor-made land use interventions to facilitate intermodal mobility.
