Layout Model of Urban Comprehensive Passenger Transportation Hubs
Publication: International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2007
Abstract
The layout of Urban Comprehensive Passenger Transportation Hubs (UCPTH) is an important part of the urban overall planning and comprehensive transportation planning. The on-quantitative-basis theories available for the UCPTH layout are mainly intended as special research tools for single-mode hubs like those of the rail passenger transportation or highway passenger transportation, and so far no relatively mature theories have been formed. Therefore, based on urban planning principles, transportation planning theories, and the analyses of the correlation factors of the UCPTH layout, a layout model is established in which the minimum cost of the total time by all the urban external passengers is taken as the optimized aim function, and the total investments in various hubs constructions, their scalar demand and intermodal demand are taken as binding conditions. Two-phase layout characterizes the model and accordingly a genetic algorithm is designed to solve it. Finally, a case study is conducted by analyzing the UCPTH layout of Shanghai city.
