    [Objective]The impact range of urban rail transit stations is difficult to accurately calculate through pure theoretical methods. It is necessary to approach the station impact range from an engineering application perspective through actual passenger feeder data under different feeder modes.[Method]Research parameters for urban rail transit station transportation are selected, and the calculation method for station impact range is determined. Taking typical urban rail transit lines in Osaka, Japan as the research object, the feeder range and sharing rate of stations under three feeder modes (walking, cycling, and road-based public transport) are calculated, and the distribution pattern of these data is analyzed. Two urban rail transit lines in Osaka City are selected to further investigate the impact range of suburban stations, and the correlation between the maximum station spacing and the impact range of urban rail transit stations is analyzed.[Result & Conclusion]The feeder range corresponding to 90% percentile of station passenger flow is adopted to represent the station impact range, which can effectively reflect the actual transport radiation capacity of the station. Under both walking and bicycle feeder modes, the feeder sharing rate and range display a decreasing trend from the core area to the suburbs. Under road bus feeder mode, the influencing factors of feeder range and sharing rate are relatively complex, and stations as transportation hubs and line terminals have relatively higher feeder sharing rates compared to other stations. For stations in suburban areas, the impact ranges of both the terminal station and interchange station are relatively large. With balanced land development around the station, its impact range shows a significant positive correlation with the maximum station spacing.
