Abstract

China pays more attention to the rights and interests of people with disabilities and promotes the development of barrier-free cities. But it is still difficult to see people with disabilities integrated into daily commuting in the travel scene. To help build a complete and humanized barrier-free environment in Guangzhou City, we explored the influencing factors of people with disabilities' travel.

In this paper, we first verified the factor through column analysis and chi-square test .Based on the above results, the Random Forest Model was applied to analyze the influence of each factor in the above three dimensions at a deeper level, and the model was trained with the SMOTE After ranking the relative importance of the variables, it is found that psychological factors have a higher influence on the travel of people with disabilities than social factors and higher than economic factors, among which the psychological factor of "lack of security" is the most important factor affecting the travel.

Finally, based on this study utilizes data analysis to draw pertinent conclusions that we need multiple efforts from society to make them feel safe in shared mobility without discrimination. We also have designed a product that couples shared cars and smart wheelchairs for the disabled, hoping that it can really help the disabled to get around when it is put into use.
