Abstract: Within the scope of sustainability, the development of park-and-ride (P&R) facilities can reduce the exhaust emissions of motor vehicles and help build an environmentally friendly society. The location of P&R facilities is the primary consideration in planning, and it plays a decisive role in their transportation, environmental and economic benefits. Given the difficulty of obtaining full data information of traffic network attributes and travel demand characteristics, in this study the P&R facilities in the outer suburbs and cities as were taken as the research object, with a simplified transportation network, improving the principle of nearby selection and 0–1 demand coverage in existing research. By analyzing the P&R facility coverage and demand intensity characteristics, a P&R facility location model considering the coverage demand characteristics was constructed, and a solution algorithm is proposed. The validity of the established model was verified by comparing the existing location model and conducting sensitivity analysis.
