Abstract

In general, railroad operation companies sell tickets to maximize their profits by applying the ticketing release time (when selling any tickets regardless of trip distances). This study is to analyze the effect of the release time on KTX ticket reservation behavior. The reservation behavior in this study means the reservation time calculated by difference between ticketing time and departure time. The data come from KTX ticket sales data of Gyeongbu-line for a week including Saturday and Sunday. The results show that the factors to affect the reservation time are day of the week, trip distance and operation direction, in addition to the release time. Furthermore, most of tickets were reserved three hours before their departure time, and most of the up line weekend users reserved their tickets a day before the departure time. Before the release time, reservation time was affected by up line and long distance travel. On the other hand, after the release time, it was affected by long distance travel and Sunday.

일반적으로 철도운영기관에서는 수익성 극대화를 위해 티켓팅 해제시간을 적용하여 티켓을 판매하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이같은 해제시간이 KTX 예매행태에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 분석하였다. 예매행태는 예매시간을 의미하며 예매시각과 출발시각의 차이로 계산하였다. 분석자료는 KTX 경부선 매표자료이며, 요일별 차이를 보기위해 평일(목요일)과 토요일, 일요일의 자료를 이용하였다. 예매시간에 미치는 요인으로 해제시각이외에 요일, 운행거리, 운행방향 등을 고려하였다. 분석결과, 대부분 출발 3시간 전에 티켓을 예매하는 것으로 나타났으며, 주말 상행노선 이용객의 경우 대부분이 출발 하루 전에 예매를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 해제시간 전에는 상행노선, 장거리 구간, 일요일인 경우에 예매시간이 길게 나타났으며, 반면에 해제시간 이후에는 일요일인 경우와 장거리 구간인 경우에 예매시간이 짧게 나타났다.
