Density of traffic linesTraffic nodes’ numberCalculation of traffic nodes’ number.
Traffic line influence on the regionTraffic lines’ densityThe ratio of the traffic line length of each township to the administrative area of the township.
Location superiorityTraffic lines’ numberNumber of traffic routes covered by each town.
Shortest distance from e-commerce enterprises to the traffic lineThe natural breakpoint method by ArcGIS is used to divide the shortest distance between e-commerce enterprises and transportation lines into 5 categories. The closer the distance, the easier the transportation. Therefore, the weights of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 are set in order from the nearest to the farthest distance. The number of each distance level is counted, and each town’s weighted value is summed.
Distance between township administrative centers and county-level administrative centersCalculation of Euclidean distance between the town government and the county government.
