Abstract: Developing regional transportation is an important part of the coordinated development of a regional economy. This study addresses the problem of uncoordinated regional transportation development and identifies ways to advance the development of the regional economy. Using a niche model and entropy method, this study analyzed the development status of regional transportation industry from three dimensions: structure, function, and environment. This included constructing an evaluation index system. The results show that the traffic development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in China is continuously improving, but there are clear gaps between the regions, and the development of the three dimensions significantly differs. This highlights the importance of formulating regional transportation integration development measures according to the development status of each city and its own characteristics.
Keywords: Niche theory, traffic of region, traffic of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region
