Abstract

The paper has an empirical research on urban economic effect of the rail transit based on system dynamics model. The result is on the 2007–2010 Beijing Transit Rail data, and concludes that (1) economic effects of transit rail is defined as the accessibility improvements caused by the concentration of population, and thus the formation of value of the land to enhance the prosperity of commercial services, and promote regional economic development; (2) empirical research from Beijing transit rail has proved that the increasing of passenger capacity is positive correlated with its economic effect; (3) In the short term, stimulation coefficient increased passenger traffic to improve the speed of its economic effects, In long term, the increasing of passenger capacity coefficient has little relationship with regional economic growth and the economic effect is even weakening.
