Analysis of the Impact of Ride-Hailing on Urban Road Network Traffic by Using Vehicle Trajectory Data

The growth of ride-hailing services has made people’s daily commutes more convenient but has increased traffic on the road. However, the data needed to verify the impact of ride-hailing services on the urban road traffic network are lacking. This study matches data on the trajectories of different k...

description The growth of ride-hailing services has made people’s daily commutes more convenient but has increased traffic on the road. However, the data needed to verify the impact of ride-hailing services on the urban road traffic network are lacking. This study matches data on the trajectories of different kinds of vehicles in Xuancheng city in the urban road network by using vehicle information data, ride-hailing information data, and license plate data recorded by the traffic bayonet system from December 26, 2018, to January 25, 2019. We used two indices, the detecting intensity and the detecting rate, to analyze the characteristics of travel based on ride-hailing services in Xuancheng. The results show that the ride-hailing vehicles have obvious travel characteristics of morning peak and evening peak, and in central urban areas and through the proposed indices of the travel time occupation rate and the travel space occupation rate to further quantitatively analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of travel of different kinds of vehicles. Following this, we calculated the average ratios of different kinds of vehicles on congested sections of the road network and used simple regression to analyze the relationship between this and the average speed on these sections to quantitatively analyze the impact of ride-hailing on traffic congestion. The work here can provide effective decision-making support to the government for managing travel based on ride-hailing services.
