Abstract


In order to explore the spatial distribution rules and causes of urban rail transit passenger travel, this paper mines the spatial 1-frequent itemset and 2-frequent itemsets of weekdays and weekends metro passenger travel based on Apriori algorithm using the continuous week of Automatic Fare Collection System (AFC) swipe card. At the same time, the K-Means algorithm is used to cluster the subway stations and explore the causes of association rules by combining the Point of Interest (POI) data of the same period within the radiation range of the subway stations. The study shows that the spatial distribution pattern of inbound and outbound passenger flow of Shanghai rail transit is consistent between weekdays and weekends, and the outbound passenger flow is more concentrated than the inbound passenger flow, and the significance of weekends is higher; the spatial distribution of metro stations is "circled"; the analysis of the high-lift association rules show that a large passenger flow group centered on the type 3 station is formed in the spatial location, and the passenger flow within the group is mainly commuter flow with separation of employment and residence. The association rule mining of metro passenger travel data is beneficial to understanding the spatial distribution pattern and causes of metro ridership, which can provide reference for rail network planning and operation management.
