Comprehensive Analysis of the Hu-Bao-E-Yu Urban Agglomeration Traffic Network

Aiming at optimizing traffic network structure of Hu-Bao-E-Yu urban agglomeration and promoting coordinated development, this paper study the traffic network in Hu-Bao-E-Yu urban agglomeration by establishing traffic connection degree model and road network density model. Firstly, we study its composition of the internal traffic network, namely, the railway, highway and aviation network. Secondly, we analyze its external traffic network, and because it is located in the “two horizontal and three vertical” position, it has developed railway and highway network and strong traffic access ability. Finally, we construct the traffic connection degree model and road network density model based on the overall analysis. As a result, the traffic connection degree of every node city in Hu-Bao-E-Yu urban agglomeration is imbalanced. And there are not many differences on road density among the Hohhot, Baotou and Yulin, but the road density of Ordos is obviously greater than other three cities. Introduction The state council promulgated a file of Hu-Bao-E-Yu urban agglomeration development and planning on February 12, 2018, which marked the beginning of Hu-Bao-E-Yu urban agglomeration development and set a strategic position as the national high-end energy chemical industry base, strategic fulcrum to north and west, ecological civilization cooperation zone in northwest and antecedence development zone of urban-rural integration in ethnic areas [1]. Moreover, traffic facilities are the antecedence and foundation of regional economy development and the important indicator of regional development conditions, and they also provide the convenience for region cooperation and elements agglomeration. Literature [2] comprehensively analyzed the formation and evolution mechanism of Hu-Bao-E urban agglomeration regional transportation with GIS spatial analysis and grid technologies, and finally analyzed the traffic reachability. Literature [3] established road accessibility model and index model of road diversity, and analyzed the transportation accessibility of Hu-Bao-E urban agglomeration. Literature [4] analyzed the nodal cities in the Lan-Xi urban agglomeration and their level of correlation, and studied the traffic network structure using the K-Means algorithm and SVM. Literature [5] constructed the index system of comprehensive evaluation of transportation network and applied traffic connection degree model to analyze the transportation network links between cities so as to build the basic structure of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration traffic networks. However, the Hu-Bao-E-Yu urban agglomeration is still in early stage in the construction of traffic network and the transport links among cities within the urban agglomeration are still immature, and the research is still blank. Therefore, this paper established the traffic connection degree model and road network density model based on the coordinated development of Hu-Bao-E-Yu urban agglomeration. And analyzed the traffic network and put forward development proposals in order to promote the integrated development of urban agglomeration transportation and strengthen internal relations and external radiation capacity, which will be beneficial to Economic integration development.
