Abstract
This study carried out the research on the spatial pattern and coupling coordination level of regional transportation and economic development, revealed the interaction mechanism between them and evaluated their coupling coordination level through the comprehensive analysis of the transportation network and economic development data of multiple regions. Firstly, a certain urban agglomeration is selected as the research area to complete the data acquisition and processing, and then the spatial econometrics method is used to quantitatively analyze the regional transportation network and the spatial pattern of economic development. The study found that the improvement of the transportation network has a significant impact on the regional economic development, and the improvement of the level of economic development can also promote the optimization and upgrading of the transportation network. Finally, the coupling of regional transportation and economic development is analyzed by using the model. The results show that there are significant differences in the level of coupling and coordination in different regions. The traffic and economic development in some regions have achieved benign interaction, while there are different degrees of imbalance in other regions.
