Abstract:
To reveal the influence mechanism of built environment on thecompetitive-cooperative relationship between ride-hailing and metro, a method was proposedto quantify the spatiotemporal interaction characteristics between ride-hailing and metro stationsby constructing a competitive-cooperative relationship index. First, ride-hailing order data acrossthe entire Nanjing region were collected and preprocessed. Second, multi-source urban data wereintegrated, including built environment elements such as points of interest, house prices, mixedland use, road density, and public transport proximity. Meanwhile, the competitive-cooperativerelationship between ride-hailing and metro was identified based on their spatiotemporalinteraction and quantified as a competitive-cooperative relationship index. Finally, the randomforest method was employed to analyze the relative contribution of various built environmentelements to the index and their nonlinear influence characteristics. The results indicate that, interms of spatial distribution characteristics, the cooperative relationship between ride-hailing and metro exhibits a relatively dispersed spatial pattern, whereas the competitive relationshipdemonstrates significant spatial agglomeration, particularly in urban central areas, where itintensifies markedly with decreasing distance from the city center. Regarding the relativecontribution of built environment elements, house prices, commercial residence, andtransportation facilities exhibit strong explanatory power for the competitive-cooperativerelationship index, with relative contributions of 35.79%, 19.85%, and 9.84%, respectively,collectively constituting the key influencing factors. All built environment elements shownonlinear effects on the competitive-cooperative relationship index. A continuous increase inmixed land use or road density does not stimulate ride-hailing demand; instead, built environmentcharacteristics must fall within a certain range to maximize their impact on the competitive effectof ride-hailing. The findings provide a theoretical basis for the refined management of the builtenvironment and the optimized dispatching of ride-hailing services.4 tabs, 8 figs, 25 refs.
