Research on the interchange performance of transportation hub based on Yishan road station, Shanghai

Abstract

With the development of rail transit in China, interchange efficiency is more and more important. This study conducted model based research on interchange evaluation based on Yishan Road station in Shanghai, China. Transportation hub interchange evaluation model was established by combing Fuzzy Method and Analytic Hierarchy Process. Calculation result showed that established model can be used to evaluate the interchange performance of Yishan Road station. Based on this model, VISSIM simulation conductowed that travelling time and speed were not satisfied. Optimized model was then established to order to improve interchange performance. Simulation results showed that significant improvement was observed in travel time and speed, lining-up time and stop frequency, which indicated the usefulness of model on interchange efficiency. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2013.
