“…The opening of a HSR station brings enhanced accessibility and fosters changes in the configuration of the land-use system of the urban area near the station and its immediate surroundings (Blum, Haynes, & Karlsson, 1997;Urena, Menerault, & Garmendia, 2009;van den Berg & Pol, 1998). The spatial organization changes to take advantage of the increased attractiveness of the newly-connected location, in a dynamic process where involving simultaneous and multilevel impacts in the economic, social and environmental spheres (Banister & Berechman, 2003;Vickerman & Ulied, 2009).…”

“…On the one hand, the HSR service may be intended primarily to improve long distance and international connections, thus acting as a substitute for, or in combination with, air travel (Givoni, 2006;Roman, Espino, & Martin, 2010). On the other hand, the HSR may be designed to promote high interregional accessibility by linking together cities in an "integrated corridor economy" (Blum et al, 1997;Martinez & Givoni, 2009;Urena, Garmendia, Coronado, Vickerman, & Romero, 2010;Urena et al, 2009). These two categories are derived from the work of Blum et al (1997), in which HSR stations which provide good connexion with airports are differentiated from those which are primarily designed to improve regional travel (train/car).…”

“…HSR represents a key element of territorial structuring, enabling the development of new relationships between remote countries, considerably shortening the distance between them [11]. It promotes mobility and interaction in economic and social aspects [12]. In this sense, different studies have reported variations of accessibility after the implementation of HSR at the European level [13][14][15].…”

Abstract:In the last twenty years, the implementation of High-Speed Rail (HSR) has been one of the major strategies for territorial structuring used by various countries. This model has enhanced the development of countries such as France, Spain, Germany and Japan. At present, the United States and China are also starting to implement this model. Nevertheless, the lack of social and economic profitability of several networks is being increasingly analysed. Many networks located in particular regions serve populations that are not large enough to recover the initial investment. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate the population served by this transport mode, beyond the number of users. In this sense, it is essential to identify the deficiencies and potentials of implementing a network linked to other secondary networks in a specific territory which can compensate for the so-called tunnel effect. This article proposes to apply a mathematical approach based on graph theory to measure the Degree Accessibility Node (DAN) in a constrained Geographic Information System (GIS) model. Hence, it would be possible to compare regions, especially medium-sized cities, where the implementation of HSR could represent a qualitative leap due to incorporation into large transport networks. The DAN function uses static and dynamic studies to evaluate the level of connection of stations to secondary transport networks-local public transport in this case. Thus, the impact of high-speed trains could be spread to greater territorial and population ranges. Four cases have been studied, two in Germany (one of them, Fulda, is analysed in depth throughout this article) and two in Spain.

Results show relevant differences, suggesting a review of inappropriate policies of transport integration in a city that could weaken the expansion of the positive effects of HSR integration.

“…Fröidh [14] defined the competitive relationship between HSR and air transport by travel time segments for the Swedish domestic market. Similarly, Ureña et al [15] gathered research data related to the travel share between different transport modes for various travel distances. They concluded that intercity HSR services are in competition with air transport when there is a travel time of less than three hours, and that 65% of passengers prefer to use the HSR when their travel time is under two and a half hours.…”

While the introduction of a high speed rail (HSR) provides passengers with another more environmentally friendly, convenient, and time-saving transport option, it also disrupts the existing passenger transport market. This study adopts time series analysis to model the dynamic competition in a regional passenger transport market when an HSR is introduced. The analyses include examining the long-run equilibrium and causal relationships, and the short-run causality and dynamic relationships between transport modes. In addition, based on the model we conduct impulse response tests and variance decomposition tests to further interpret the interactions between two transport modes. An empirical study is carried out, and the findings indicate that the HSR has a negative impact on conventional rail and air transport in the long-run. In the short-run dynamics, the air passenger transport volume could be regarded as a good predictor of HSR passenger volume. In turn, the HSR passenger volume could be used to predict conventional rail transport volume. The operations of HSR and conventional rail are complementary in the short term. From the short-run market viewpoint, the HSR and conventional rail meet different kinds of passenger demand. Therefore, a previous increased passenger volume for the HSR implies an overall increasing demand for regional transport. Consequently, the past increased HSR passenger volume could be used to predict the growth of conventional rail transport. Through the impulse response test, we can further track the responses of the three transport modes to the shocks from themselves and each other.
