Research on Operation Efficiency of Beijing Rail Transit Based on DEA-Malmquist Index
Publication: ICCREM 2021
ABSTRACT
The investment amount of urban rail transit project is huge, which undertakes the important urban public service function, and its operation efficiency is worthy of attention. In this paper, DEA-Malmquist index is used to measure and analyze the operation efficiency and its change of 17 lines in Beijing from 2015 to 2019. The results show that: most of the lines are in the stage of increasing returns to scale, the overall operational efficiency is on the rise, and the technical efficiency change is the main driving factor for the improvement of comprehensive efficiency. Combined with the projection of decision making unit (DMU) on the production frontier, the input indexes of DMUs with invalid scale are redundant and need further improvement. In the future, it will deeply analyze the causes of operational efficiency differences and put forward development suggestions for the sustainable supply and operation of infrastructure.
