An Approach to Comprehensively Evaluate Potential Park and Ride Facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
A park and ride facility provides an option to car drivers to park their cars and switch to public transportation for the remaining portions of their trips. Although park and ride has been implemented in many cities in the United States and integrated with different modes of transportation, no comprehensive approach has been developed in published literature to assess the feasibility of a potential park and ride site. This research proposes a comprehensive approach, which consists of the following tasks, to evaluate potential park and ride facilities: 1. Site location analysis 2. Bus system reliability analysis 3. Parking supply and usage analysis 4. Mode choice model 5. User demand and ridership estimation 6. Cost estimation and economic impacts analysis The application of the proposed tasks was demonstrated through a case study of a site in the City

A GIS-Based Approach for Delineating Market Areas for Park and Ride Facilities
Park-and-ride services are an integral component of many public transit systems in the United States. A necessary step when analyzing and planning for such services is to delineate catchment areas for park-and-ride facilities. Previous approaches for delineating catchment/market areas are either problematic or have unrealistic data requirements. This paper develops a geographic information syst...
متن کاملA GIS-based planning approach to locating urban rail terminals
This paper develops a flexible GIS-based methodology for evaluating the potential locations of terminal park-and-ride facilities along urban rail lines. The methodology differs from political-based approaches and traditional travel demand modeling in its use of an objective measure of accessibility to gage the suitability of a site. The methodology begins by constructing an index of derived dem...
