Abstract

The development of air transport and high-speed rail (HSR) is facing two problems. One is competition, having been stated in many literatures focusing on the economic distances; and another is stresses from large investments, energy consumption and environmental degradation. In this paper, the feasibility of HSR-air transport cooperation is discussed, aiming to prevent excessive service and reduce emissions, but not hurt travelers. The feasible regions are calculated based on a total cost model and Lotka–Volterra equation, identifying in which situations air and HSR could cooperate. Based on this method, some measures are proposed to increase the possibility of cooperation. Some typical city-pairs in China are empirically discussed and the cooperation indexes are calculated.
