Abstract
Due to its large capacity, safety and punctuality, urban rail transit has become one of the most important measures to promote public transport and relieve traffic congestion. The planning of rail transit service exerts considerable influence on conventional public transport and land use. In this paper, a comprehensive suitability evaluation system of urban rail transit system is presented. Three aspects are taken into consideration in this system: the coordination between urban rail transit systems and conventional bus systems, the coordination between urban rail transit systems and urban land use, and passenger transfer capacity analysis. Finally, an overall suitability index is presented to give a comprehensive evaluation on the suitability of urban rail transit system. The feasibility of this evaluation system is verified by the case study in Wuxi, China.
