Research on Location of Comprehensive Passenger Transport Hub in Small and Medium-Sized Cities Based on MIP Model

Comprehensive passenger terminals are an important form of external passenger transport in small and medium-sized cities, playing the role of transfer and long-distance travel and providing infrastructure for services such as transportation, conversion, and other functions. From the classification of comprehensive passenger transport hubs, the location principles and influencing factors of passenger transport hubs were analyzed. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of commonly used site selection models for the location of a comprehensive passenger transport hub were analyzed and compared. Optimize the mixed integer programming model was optimized, and the traffic volume was divided into two processes from the traffic area to the hub and the hub to the attraction point, using the OD matrix and the generalized cost matrix to solve the model. Finally, taking the location of the comprehensive passenger transport hub in Suqian as an example, a combined optimization model delivered the optimal solution for site selection.
