Analysis of Greenway Network Size Based on Trip Mode Chain

Along with the development of cities, growing contradictions between urban and environment is inevitable. The greenway system, having functions both of traffic and ecology, is becoming a new significant direction in the development of urban transport. This article based on the traffic demand forecasting method of activity theory and combined with the concept of trip mode chain, the disaggregate model of the split of trip modes is constructed, and the traffic volume and rates in greenway network are forecasted, and then the demand size of green way system are calculated. Based on the data of residential trip survey in Chengdu in 2009, applying the mode above, the greenway network size is calculated. By this paper, an outstanding theoretical foundation to build a comprehensive and multi-level green way network for Chengdu building “the world modern garden city” is laid, having a great significance.
