Abstract
Research on transportation and land use interactions emerged addressing urban sprawl. Rail transit expansion has focused on station-area dynamics and city-level simulations, neglecting corridor-scale analysis. This review synthesises key theories, models, and methods in transport corridors, with a focus on scale adaptability and dynamic interactions. The field has evolved through static, dynamic, and complex systems phases, progressing from basic metrics to multi-source spatiotemporal data integration. Findings demonstrate that corridor-based approaches improve transportation efficiency and job–housing balance, while also helping to overcome administrative fragmentation and support sustainable transit-oriented development. Persistent challenges include corridor-scale model adaptability, metric standardisation, and the technical complexities of transitioning LUTI models towards high-dimensional modelling. We propose integrating spatiotemporal analytics, cross-domain data fusion, and machine learning to strengthen predictive accuracy and policy applicability, particularly for rail corridor planning. Methodological innovations in geospatial AI and system dynamics could resolve existing limitations, offering decision support for sustainable transit-oriented development.
