Abstract
Regarding intermodal urban transport systems for passengers, there is no recognized standard for performance analysis. Detecting the weaknesses of such systems can allow managers to carry out more assertive, corrective actions and make them more attractive to users. The main objective of this article is to propose a model for evaluating the performance of intermodal travel for passengers in urban environments. The exploratory factor analysis was the method used to evaluate and classify the variables that constitute the proposed standard. The results show that the factors related to travel time, infrastructure and available information are the most important characteristics for the interviewed public. The operational performance analysis carried out in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil, reveals the difficulties faced by the citizens while making an intermodal trip, which may be contributing to a reduction in the number of users of the passenger transport system.
Highlights
Since there is a natural limitation in relation to the number of direct trips made by public transport, there is a need for the user to use different modes of transport to complement his/her daily commutes
Regarding the public surveyed in the #irst questionnaire, used to evaluate and classify the variables utilized to de#ine the performance of intermodal travel in urban passenger transport, 72.98% of respondents are recurrent bus users, while 27.02% use the subway/light rail system to carry out their displacements. 48.01% of respondents use some form of integration
As the income of the respondents increases, there is a reduction in the regular use of public transport – 91.43% of respondents were concentrated in the income range of up to three minimum wages
Summary
Since there is a natural limitation in relation to the number of direct trips made by public transport, there is a need for the user to use different modes of transport to complement his/her daily commutes In these cases, it is necessary to guarantee the availability of intermodal trips. This study is subdivided into 3 sections, in addition to the introduction: section 2 presents a literature review with the general de#initions related to the concept of intermodal displacement It highlights the advantages and dif#iculties resulting from its implementation and presents the characteristics that stimulate intermodal passenger transport in urban environments – throughout the entire route traveled by the user and in the region surrounding the interchange locations.
