Abstract
It is necessary to carry out an integrated connection design for the rail station area to promote the development of the transit-oriented development (TOD) mode. There is lack of an evaluation index system that comprehensively considers the characteristics of TOD. Based on the characteristics of TOD mode and passenger transfer satisfaction, we propose an evaluation index system for the design of the connections between TOD rail stations and each of the three transportation modes including pedestrians, conventional buses and non-motorized vehicles, respectively. We formulate the grading standards for quantitative and qualitative indicators through literature research and questionnaire survey, respectively. In order to obtain relatively objective and comprehensive evaluation results, we propose an evaluation method combining analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and cloud model, which is superior to single evaluation methods. Finally, Nanjing Xinjiekou rail station is selected as a case for the application of indexes and the evaluation method. The evaluation results about the connection levels of the three transportation modes are medium, good, and medium, which basically conform to the characteristics of central commercial stations.
