Geographical distance a negative impact flow. human capital index policy not significant. Next, order analyze these different regions Africa, uses sub samples test regional heterogeneity discusses relevant issues. Finally, some countermeasures put forward: top-level design overall layout bilateral should be consolidated, stereoscopic traffic network construction accelerated, upgrading technology also accelerated.
