Abstract In this study, we analyzed the airport choice behavior of inbound Chinese travelers to Japan. We determined the effect of launching super high-speed rail (SHSR) on air-rail integration and its effect on the gateway functions of airports connected by high-speed rail or SHSR. We developed a bi-level model adopting nested-type stochastic user equilibrium using a capacity constraints model. Based on simulations, we concluded that (i) introducing SHSR can reduce the congestion at the primary gateway airport; (ii) direct connection with SHSR can enhance the gateway function of secondary gateway airports; (iii) when a low-cost carrier is operating in the market, the gateway function at secondary airports without SHSR may be diminished by the introduction of SHSR.
Highlights The effect of air-rail integration on multiple airport system is discussed. The super high-speed rail (SHSR) is dealt with. We develop a nested logit-type bi-level model. Introducing SHSR can reduce the congestion at the primary gateway airport. The low-cost carrier can affect the efficiency of the secondary airports.
