How Streets Adapt to New Generation Transportation: Analysis of Ridesourcing Pick-up and Drop-off Hot-spots and Street Improvement Design based on Trajectory Data

Urban mobility is rapidly evolving in recent years with the flourish of ridesourcing. This new generation transportation offers more convenient options for point to point trips but at the same time generates more conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, transit and other vehicles. This study discussed how streets adapt to new generation transportation based on 3,128,027 ridesourcing trips in Xi’an, China. I first identified ridesourcing’s pick-up and drop-off hot-spots in Xi’an using DBSCAN and Getis-Ord Gi statistics, and then analyzed hot-spot locations from the street scale. I found hot-spots in Xi’an mainly located on the city’s main axis and Ring Roads surrounding by five different land use types. Finally, a ridesourcing pick-up and drop-off design in highly mixed land use area was showcased.Master of City and Regional Plannin
