在二十一世紀的今天,大眾運輸的發展不僅僅是為了縮短通勤的時間,以及追求生活的便利而已,更能代表一個國家國力的象徵與進步,而國家經濟發展的成功,完善的大眾運輸系統是重要的原因之一,因此,各國不斷追求大眾運輸的革新,高速鐵路,即為目前各國交通發展的方向。 高速鐵路為新型的大眾運輸工具,最先是由日本發展,現在世界各國中已有法國、義大利、德國、西班牙、英國、比利時、荷蘭、美國、韓國、中國、土耳其、俄國斯,以及台灣擁有,高速鐵路為目前最快的陸運交通工具,其優點為快速、載客量高,在台灣已漸漸取代傳統的陸運,以及部份的航空運輸,成為西部台灣主要的城際運輸工具之一。 台灣高速鐵路在一開始是為了改善西部地區的交通問題,所以在一開始僅有規畫台北、板橋、桃園、新竹、台中、嘉義、台南以及左營車站,但後續為配合政府政策又增加了苗栗、彰化以及雲林車站,為了瞭解新設車站的建設成果,以新設車站為研究的主題,並以集群分析法將車站的績效指標做分群,檢測新設車站與其他高速鐵路車站的差別,再研究新設車站建設後,對於苗栗、彰化以及雲林縣人口以及觀光產業的影響。
In the 21st century, the public transportation systems not only shorten commute time and pursue for more convenience life, but become the symbol of national power and advanced.

After they added Miaoli, Changhua and Yunlin stations’ program because of the government policies. To understand the performance of the newest stations, Miaoli, Changhua and Yunlin stations are the research targets. Using cluster analysis to group the stations by performance indicators, and see what’s the different between three new stations and the others stations. Then the study continue to research the effect of Miaoli, Changhua and Yunlin County population, and the impact of tourism industry due to the new stations construction.
