Analysis Method of Railway Station Planning Scenarios Based on PROMETHEE

Rail transit stations play an important role in the entire railway system. This paper took the PROMETHEE (preference ranking organization method for enrich of evaluation) method to perform comprehensive evaluation on railway station planning scenarios. Firstly, based on station characteristics, the evaluation indicators were selected and quantified from network structure, feeder traffic facilities, and land development, which are node degrees, betweenness, closeness, equivalent road network density, feeder facility completion level, commercial land efficiency, and residential land efficiency. Secondly, the method of comprehensive evaluation based on PROMETHEE was proposed. Finally, the R2 line-planning scenario of Jinan was taken as an example. The evaluation results show that the stations are obviously classified according to land use. The comprehensive evaluation of regional center stations ranked higher than community center stations. From the geometrical analysis for interactive aid (GAIA) plane, we identified stations that with good locations but are not well developed. In addition, we put forward and verified the advice that equivalent road network density should be paid more attention in this scenario.
