ABSTRACT

In order to promote the coordinated development of traffic accessibility and urban economy under the background of high-speed rail network, the weighted average travel time, economic potential index, total economic linkages and coupling coordination degree were taken as the measurement indexes. Taking Jiangsu Province as an example, the high-speed rail traffic accessibility, the coupling coordination degree between the traffic accessibility and urban economy were quantitatively measured. The results showed that the average coordination degree between high-speed rail accessibility and urban economy in Jiangsu Province was 0.6568, which meant a medium level of coordination. However, the degrees of coupling coordination between high-speed rail traffic accessibility and urban economy of different cities in Jiangsu Province were unbalanced, different countermeasures should be adopted for cities with different coordination levels. Specifically, the coupling coordination degrees of Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou in southern Jiangsu were at a high level of coordination, and the economic radiation of the three central cities should be further enhanced. The coordination levels of Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou in central Jiangsu were moderate, and the three cities’ strength of economic ties with other cities should be established and enhanced; the coordination levels of Xuzhou, Suqian, Huai'an and Yancheng in northern Jiangsu were low, the coordination state of Taizhou and Nantong was mild disorder, the construction of transportation facilities of the these cities should be strengthened and the intensity of accepting the economic radiation of the core cities should be improved.
