Abstract: With the ever-increasing demand for transport in modern cities, emissions from urban transport are rising. The proportion of carbon emissions in exhaust gas accounts for a large share of society’s total carbon emissions and is increasing. Therefore, urban transport has a sustainable responsibility to reduce carbon emissions. Investigating the factors that influence carbon emissions from transport has become an important practical issue that needs to be addressed. This paper adopts a “bottom-up” theoretical calculation method of transport carbon emissions and establishes the basic distribution model of inter-modal land use around rail transit stations. It clarifies the connection mode of rail transit stations and establishes the distribution model of carbon emission of stations under different building distribution modes, suggesting the planning of building distribution patterns around rail transit stations. This paper proposes a new method to analyze the influencing factors of carbon emissions at rail transit stations based on multi-modal spatial data in order to make full use of the dense characteristics of rail transit stations and reduce carbon emissions.
