Abstract EN
Urban bus networks play an important role, when the capacity of urban public services is evaluated.
With recent advancements in Internet and Communication Technologies, there is an emerging interest in building an urban bus network model through open big data.
This has rarely been investigated and exposes several challenges in the provision of transportation services in urban planning.
On the one hand, it is necessary to combine bus stations based on spatial distance constraints due to their ambiguous definition in open big data; on the other hand, it is difficult and time-consuming to relocate and build new stations, but the optimization of bus lines is relatively easy to implement.
This study aimed to develop an explicit methodological framework for building and analyzing two different types of urban bus network model using open big data.
Thereafter, the framework was applied in two case studies in China, within a county-level administration and in a region including three county-level administrations.
The key result shows that there was a shortage of urban bus services across these different administrations.
This paper contributes to the body of research methodologies into public transport networks and to understanding the sharing of urban public services across administrations, improving the management of urban bus networks, and highlighting the importance of examining the characteristics of urban bus network in county-level administrations rather than just in large cities in China.
