This paper aims to analyze how the introduction of high-speed rail (HSR) influences the market structure in the Beijing-Shanghai passenger corridor of China.First of all, through the analysis of travel behavior characteristics of this passenger corridor, the logit model is constructed to analyze the market share among the modes of high-speed rail (HSR), existing railway lines, air transportation and highway. Secondly, based on the survey data , the parameters of logit model are calibrated by using transcad software.Then the market share ratio for all transport modes of Beijing-Shanghai passenger corridor is calculated through the calibrated logit model. Finally, this paper makes some research on how the air transportation influences the new HSR in terms of market share. This paperprovides several scenarios of market share ratio of high-speed rail (HSR) and makes a comparison among thembased on the hypothesis that the market influence of the air transportation is improved by adopting efficient and effective measures.

U.S. airports face significant congestion problems, particularly in major metropolitan areas with continued population and economic growth. In addition to growth in air travel demand, frequent short-haul flights on routes of less than 500 mi contribute to airport congestion. The potential for high-speed rail (HSR) to substitute for aviation on these short-haul routes is well documented; however, there is a need to explore how rail can serve in a complementary mode to relieve congestion at airports by providing short-haul services in support of longer-haul airline services. The primary objective of this research project is to examine the role of cooperation between HSR and aviation to improve the aviation system planning process. This study addresses the following key questions: (a) How have airports, airlines, and rail operators cooperated to enable airport–HSR connectivity? (b) What are the service characteristics of airport–HSR connectivity? (c) What are the unique challenges associated with airport–HSR connectivity? (d) How has the demand for air transportation evolved in the presence of airport–HSR connectivity?

High-speed rail is a form of self-guided ground transportation, which utilizes steel-wheels or magnetic levitation (i.e., Maglev) and can travel in excess of 200 miles per hour. High-speed ground transportation (i.e., HSGT) has been widely used in Europe and Asia, but the debate continues over the usefulness of high-speed rail in the United States. Several metropolitan areas in the United States have been identified as corridors that would benefit from HSGT. High speed rail can offer an alternative or a compliment to over-the-road and air transportation. Initial investment cost for this mode of transportation are high, but other factors such as fewer emissions from trains help to balance these costs. This manuscript examines the feasibility of bringing high-speed rail to clusters of cities throughout the United States (i.e., corridors) for passenger and commercial freight transportation.
