Estimation of Transport Accessibility in Case of Rational Transport Hub Location

Abstract

The public transit accessibility has become an important attribute of social and economic activity of contemporary society. The shift to the sustainable paradigm of the current cities’ development has made public transport the basic mean for population travels execution. The spatial character of the travels in the megapolises supposes its implementation with the transfers. This may result in the travel time increase if the transport hubs are designed or located inefficiently. In some cases, the transport hub locations do not reflect the current demand for public transport services and require the fulfilment of the infrastructure measures. The paper presents the Hub Location Problem (HLP) solving in the case of rapid transit and trolleybus lines interaction. It has been proposed the combined criterion for the HLP solving based on the two-dimensional coordinate system with the estimation of passenger walk turnover. The simulation procedure to estimate the transport hub relocation has been made in the PTV VISUM software in the case of the Industrial District of Kharkiv City (Ukraine). The results of the economic effect available from the transport hub rational location have been estimated.

Determining the optimal location of an urban transport interchange hub

“…convenience and attractiveness for passengers, which is to be solved before design and construction. Such issues are currently actively considered in the works of both domestic and foreign researchers [4,5,6,7,8,2,9,10,11,12].…”

“…A large number of cars leads to an increase in the load on the road network of cities and a significant reduction in its capacity. In this regard, municipalities are developing measures to encourage urban residents to abandon their personal cars and use public transport [2]. This is especially relevant for large 412 R I UC, ISSN: 1316-6832, Online ISSN: 2610-8240.…”

Multi-criteria decision support methods for the selection of the optimum contractor: A case study of a passenger transfer centre

“…Although, as Groenendijk et al (2018) point out, it is preferable to change travellers' habits and increase their interest in public transport, but its users have a negative perception of transfers and waiting times (Peek & Van Hagen, 2002). Daily journeys for many public transport users require transfers to complete, so a significant challenge in urban mobility is to improve transfers and guarantee a positive experience for travellers (Hernandez et al, 2016;Rossolov et al, 2021). A transport hub fulfils the function of connecting different modes of public transport and is characterised by many functional connections (Groenendijk et al, 2018).…”

“…It should be noted that there has recently been a shift towards a sustainable urban development paradigm, with public transport becoming the main mode of transport for residents (Rossolov et al, 2021). City authorities wishing to implement a passenger transport hub face several challenges, such as estimating costs, taking the time to implement the investment, and, importantly, selecting the right contractor (especially when decisions are complex and require the analysis of many criteria).…”
