Empirical Research on Road Transportation Regional Classification
Publication: International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2007
Abstract
Empirical research aimed at the imbalance of regional road transportation development in the nation, is applied to the regional classification based on the development of road transportation, according to the data of 21 regions of Sichuan Province in 2005. From the points of industry management, a classification index system of road transportation regions is presented. Through factor analysis, the main components are found with the SPSS statistical software, and the name explanations of these main components are also carried out. Cluster analysis is used to classify these regions according to the factor score matrix obtained from factor analysis. Considering the location characteristics and future road network planning, Sichuan is classified into six categories based on the road transportation development. Characteristics of regional disparities are revealed. Reference of classification is provided for road transportation development planning by these results.
