The Study On The Transfer Between Urban Rail Transportation And Conventional Public Transit

Transportation integration is the trend in urban passenger transport development. To meet the needs of different levels of passenger transport, the capacity of the integrated passenger transport system must have the cooperated joining of every transport mode as its prerequisite. The transport integration hinges on the reasonable joining of urban rail transportation and conventional public transit. In addition to the logical rail network arrangement and construction scale, the effective joining with conventional land public transit is especially important in order for the urban rail transportation to function as a backbone and to increase a total benefit.What is focused on in this paper is the fact that the planning of feeder and transfer in mass transit hubs is not fully taken into account, which results in the inconvenience for the passengers to transfer and the lower efficiency of urban rail transportation, when integrated passenger transport system and urban rail transportation system are developed continuously in many large cities in our country. Based on the urban transit hub, the planning principles, procedures and methods of transfer between the urban rail transportation station and conventional public transit are discussed, and the benefit in the process of this transfer is evaluated as a reference for subway station planning and transfer service improvement in the future.First, the categories of the urban rail transportation hubs and their functions in traffic systems, as well as the feeder and transfer facilities, are analyzed and described. Then, according to the principles of conventional public transit facilities planning, the factors affecting the planning are considered and the layout pattern of conventional public transit stop in the urban rail transportation hubs is discussed.In the basis of analyzing the factors influencing the feeder and transfer scale and comparatively explaining the method to prognosticatethe volume of passengers using conventional urban mass transmit during the process of feeder and transfer, its scale is classified and the need for parking space of conventional mass transmit mode is calculated in brief. Finally, the Data Envelopment Analysis (EDA) is adopted to evaluate the transfer efficiency of the mass transit hub, the evaluate and analytic method for transfer efficiency, import redundant ratio, export deficit ratio and operational effectiveness is presented using import and export indexes and EDA evaluation model, and Guangzhou mass transit hub is taken as an example to be assessed in transfer efficiency.
