02 · Study Area & Data
Six central districts of Tianjin plus parts of four surrounding districts, intersected with coverage of three operators, using November 2022 weekday and weekend cycling OD data as the core data source. 天津市内六区 + 环城四区部分区域,取三家运营商覆盖范围交集,以 2022 年 11 月工作日及周末骑行 OD 数据为核心数据源。
After comparing multiple methods from the literature, a 100 m buffer around each metro exit is used as the valid feeder judgment area; 364 buffer polygons were merged to cover all 113 metro stations. 对比多种文献方法后,以地铁出站口 100m 缓冲区作为有效接驳判定范围,生成 364 个缓冲面后合并,覆盖 113 个地铁站点。
03 · Spatiotemporal Characteristics
Analyzing feeder behavioral differences between weekdays and weekends across three dimensions — feeder frequency, ride duration, and ride distance — with spatial distribution visualizations. 从接驳频率、骑行时长、骑行距离三个维度分析工作日与周末的接驳行为差异,并可视化空间分布规律。

Both weekday and weekend ride times concentrate at 5–10 minutes with fairly uniform distribution. Some peripheral stations outside the service area have shorter average durations (< 5 min); a few edge stations show unusually long rides. 工作日与周末骑行时间均集中在 5–10 分钟,分布较为均匀。运营范围外围部分站点平均时长偏短(<5 min),个别边缘站点异常偏长。
Both weekday and weekend ride distances concentrate within 2 km with uniform distribution. Peripheral stations show smaller average distances (< 1 km); weekday distances are slightly greater than weekend distances. 工作日与周末骑行距离均集中在 2 km 以内,分布均匀。外围站点平均骑行距离偏小(<1 km),工作日骑行距离略大于周末。
04 · Service Area Analysis
Breaking through the limitations of traditional buffer zones, combining HDBSCAN clustering, kernel density analysis, and contour delineation to precisely identify the actual feeder service area of each station. 突破传统缓冲区局限,综合运用 HDBSCAN 聚类、核密度分析、等值线划定等方法,精细化识别各站点实际接驳服务范围。
Spreads uniformly in all directions from the station; common at high-volume core stations. 以站点为中心,各方向扩散均匀;常见于接驳量最高的核心站点
Feeder trips concentrate in a specific direction, strongly influenced by nearby major attractors. 接驳多集中在某一特定方向,受周边大型吸引点影响明显
Extends along a specific axis (road / metro line) in both directions. 沿特定轴线(道路 / 地铁线路)向两端延伸
Multiple high-density cycling zones; common at mixed-use stations with dispersed feeder patterns. 存在多个骑行高密度区域,多见于混合类站点,接驳形态分散
05 · Station Classification
Based on land use within each station's buffer zone, the 113 metro stations are classified into three types, and the composite feeder capability of each station is calculated. 依据站点缓冲区内土地利用情况,将 113 个地铁站划分为三类,并计算各站综合接驳能力。

06 · Influencing Factors
Based on the "5D" built environment framework with 19 indicators, OLS regression is used for quantitative analysis, supplemented by in-depth qualitative case studies of individual stations. 基于"5D"建成环境框架构建 19 个指标,通过 OLS 回归进行定量分析,并结合站点案例深入定性解读。
Strongest influence. Densely populated areas generate higher transit feeder demand; bike-sharing infrastructure tends to concentrate there, creating a virtuous cycle. 影响强度最大。人口密集区公交接驳需求增加,共享单车设施投放相对集中,形成良性循环。
Higher transportation land ratio correlates with denser road networks, supporting better slow-mobility cycling environments and integrated feeder networks. 交通用地比例增加,路网密度相对较高,有利于营造良好的慢行骑行环境,构建一体化接驳网络。
Excessive land-use mixing disperses traffic flows, leads to uneven bike-sharing distribution and overly complex road networks, reducing overall feeder efficiency. 功能过度混合导致区域内交通流向分散、共享单车分布不均、路网过度复杂化,影响接驳整体效率。
Both population density and modal share are relatively high; service area nearly covers the full Voronoi polygon; the Tianjin Grand Theatre, Italian Style Street, and parks create extended attraction zones. 人口密度和分担率均较高;整体几乎全覆盖泰森多边形范围;天津大剧院、五大道、公园等形成吸引延伸。
Multiple hospitals and schools generate strong attraction; high population density but relatively low modal share; service area does not fully cover the Voronoi zone; cycling environment needs improvement. 各大医院、学校形成较强吸引,人口密度高但分担率较低;服务范围未全覆盖,骑行环境有待提升。
High feeder volume, low modal share; pattern extends along Nanjing Road toward the Italian Style Street area; Haihe Middle School and People's Park serve as nearby attractors. 接驳量大、分担率小;形态沿南京路向五大道延伸;周边有海河中学、人民公园等吸引点。
High feeder volume, relatively low modal share; feeder pattern extends northward toward residential areas; Jinwan Plaza is an important attractor. 接驳量大、分担率较小;接驳形态向北侧居民区延伸;津湾广场作为重要吸引点。
