Seven American TODs: Good practices for urban design in Transit-Oriented Development projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past few decades, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has emerged as a popular and in uential planning concept in the United States. Physical design is an important aspect of making TOD projects work as it is a crucial means of coordinating relatively intensive land uses and multiple transportation modes. is paper analyzes seven American TOD projects in terms of urban design and concludes with a discussion of “good practices” for future TOD projects focusing on development processes, place-making, and facilities. is research supplements prior scholarship on TOD that has tended to focus on policy issues such as regulation and nancing.

Parking Policy for Transit-Oriented Development: Lessons for Cities, Transit Agencies, and Developers
Parking policy is an important element of transit-oriented development (TOD). It shapes travel behavior, community design, and development economics; it can improve the performance of both rail transit and TOD. This article is based on the study of residential TODs, office TODs, and joint development of transit agency station parking in California. The research includes surveys of travel behavi...

Expanding public transportation is not enough to solve the urban sprawl problem resulted from an auto-orientation perspective. So urban planning experts paid attention to integrated and coordinated planning of urban development with public transportation, which reached to sustainable urban development. The purpose of this study is to review the researches in transit-oriented development (TOD) a...

But ac...

Demand-oriented timetable design for urban rail transit under stochastic demand
In the context of public transportation system, improving the service quality and robustness through minimizing the average passengers waiting time is a real challenge. This study provides robust stochastic programming models for train timetabling problem in urban rail transit systems. The objective is minimization of the weighted summation of the expected cost of passenger waiting time, its va...
