Abstract
The purpose of this research article is to provide a comprehensive method of evaluation for public transportation. In this sense, this study considers transport lines that offer in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. Hence, this study presents a description of the public transport system as part of the literature review. Likewise, the document describes an appropriate model based on the more outstanding publications about urban mobility and public transportation for passengers. Nevertheless, it is based on the Pythagorean Fuzzy combinative distance-based assessment (CODAS) to analyze and evaluate the alternatives through criteria that define general performance. Thus, the integration of these methods provides an adequate methodology for decision-making concerning urban planning and mobility to detect and improve the performance of criteria not considered within sustainable urban mobility plans. Results show how the applied approach can work as a powerful tool for the appraisal of the transport service. Finally, the results give relevant information to the local authority of the transport management of Ciudad Juarez to do improvements focused on the user.
Highlights
IntroductionThe tendency in the search for problems of transportation and urban mobility solutions, as well as in urban planning and geographic information systems (GIS), has increased worldwide, especially when talking about public passenger transportation, because there is an area of opportunity to implement public politics in cities with high population density
In [2], a case study based in Poland was developed, where the bike-sharing system is an element of analysis in four different points, with data based on the operator to analyze the functioning of the system in Warsaw, which were georeferenced with a geographic information systems (GIS)’ software, questionnaires were used to analyze the level of satisfaction with the Liker scale with a 4.5 of average rating
Fuzzy set (PFS) instead of intuitionics Fuzzy set (IFS), they used the same configuration, named as Fuzzy weighted arithmetic Pythagorean, that is based on the geometry like Pythagorean Fuzzy weighted arithmetic averaging (PFWAA) operator, this operator can be used with Pythagorean Fuzzy set (PFS), because it is an extension of IFS [45] and can provide better certainty to reduce uncertainty
Summary
The tendency in the search for problems of transportation and urban mobility solutions, as well as in urban planning and geographic information systems (GIS), has increased worldwide, especially when talking about public passenger transportation, because there is an area of opportunity to implement public politics in cities with high population density. Sustainability 2021, 13, 1281 study developed in Poland included the data base of the users and how used the service is, to motivate the citizen to use public transport. In [7], AHP method allows assessing passenger demand of the Amman urban transport system in Jordan, where service quality and price elements were considered, as well as the service offered to users, including the environmental aspects and tractability; that is, a total of 143 criteria decision were evaluated by 100 evaluators from different ages and social layers between April and. The greatest obstacle that has arisen is the integration of qualitative information within the projects, with a large number of criteria to assess the quality of the service provided by a public transportation system usually obtained through opinions and interpretations of the users and experts—this is why the contribution of multicriteria decision methods to reduce the bias and improve information analysis is highlighted. New methods for assessing MCDM problems have emerged as a response to include some characteristics which the actual methods have not considered [12] as the combinative distance-based assessment (CODAS) method developed by [13], that has the goal of determining which is the best alternative based on the Euclidean distance as the primary measure and the Taxicab distance (or Manhattan) that is the secondary measure when the Euclidean distances are incomparable
