Abstract:Many cities are planning to build up the lightrail in order to solve their traffic jam.We try to find a function to describe the going-out cost and analyse the character of this function.The conclusion can be reached that lighrail can make aggregation and spreading effect on the economic activity in the district along the lightrail transit line because the change of cost brought by the lightrail traffic system lead to redistribution of the product region. Synthetically considering factors which can impact this aggregation and spreading, via applying the method of AHP, we set up an evaluation system which can be used to measure the economic effect brought by the lighrail.
