Evaluation of Opportunities to Improve Intermodal Connectivity at California Airports
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the scope and initial findings of a study undertaken for the California Department of Transportation that is exploring opportunities to improve intermodal connectivity at California airports. It summarizes the findings of case studies of 13 airports in the state that examined opportunities to improve intermodal connectivity at those airports and discusses the issues involved in evaluating the feasibility of specific projects. The paper describes the role and structure of an analysis tool termed the Intermodal Airport Ground Access Planning Tool that has been developed to evaluate the potential impacts and feasibility of proposed projects.

Modeling Measures to Improve Intermodal Connectivity at Airports
The motivation to improve intermodal connectivity at airports results from a growing interest in reducing the volume of highway traffic generated by airport access and egress trips and facilitating the ability of airport travelers to use high-occupancy modes. However, there is a lack of standardized analysis tools for evaluating the viability and impact of different strategies to improve interm...
متن کاملIntermodal Terminals, Mega Ports and Mega Logistics
Economic globalization has been accompanied by a growing spatial imprint of freight distribution on the landscape, particularly for intermodal terminals such as ports, airports and railyards, but also for logistical activities, namely distribution centers. Economies that have relied on globalization to promote growth, China been the most eloquent example, have relied extensively on major interm...
متن کاملPlanning for Bike Share Connectivity to Rail Transit.
Bike sharing can play a role in providing access to transit stations and then to final destinations, but early implementation of these systems in North America has been opportunistic rather than strategic. This study evaluates local intermodal plan goals using trip data and associated infrastructure such as transit stops and bike share station locations in Austin, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois. ...
متن کاملConnectivity as a Measure of Power System Integrity
Measures of network structural integrity useful in the analysis and synthesis of power systems are discussed. Signal flow methodology is applied to derive an expression for the paths between sources and sinks in a power network. Connectivity and reach ability properties of the network are obtained using the minors of a modified connectivity matrix. Node-connectivity, branch connectivity and mix...
متن کاملFactors of air-rail intermodality
European transport policy promotes intermodality as a means of improving efficiency and sustainability. This study looks into passenger air-rail intermodality at airports which are directly integrated into long-distance rail networks and focuses on intermodal journeys in which the rail trip doesn’t serve the purpose of city-centre to nearby airport access, but rather makes up a substantial leg ...
