Abstract

This paper considered the access cost of passengers, and constructed a passenger’s total travel cost function. We employed the concept of “linear city” to analyze the market share between high-speed rail (HSR) and airline (AIR), and analyzed the relation between the two competitors with the non-cooperative game theory. We took the fixed fare and variable fare rate as decision variables, and established an optimizing model to calculate the fares of each mode, and then put forward a heuristic algorithm to solve the model. Taking the Wuhan-Guangzhou transportation corridor as the background, the model and algorithm were used to calculate the optimizing fares. And analyzed change of solutions with different value of time, then discussed the competitive strategies of the HSR. The result demonstrated this model reflects facts reasonably and can be used to generate better competitive strategies.
