The Optimization Method of the Layout of Integrated Passenger Transport Terminals in Beijing-Tianjin- Hebei Urban Agglomeration

Abstract

AbstractIn order to meet the demand for passenger transport and improve the overall operation efficiency of the integrated passenger transport system in the region within the urban agglomeration, the optimization method of the layout of integrated passenger transport terminals in the urban agglomeration are researched in this paper, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration is considered as our research object. Firstly, the influential factors of the location and layout of the integrated passenger transport terminal are qualitatively analyzed. Secondly the degree of charm indexes are defined, and next the selection model of alternative points based on the degree of charm of the terminal is built, and then the degree of charm value is calculated comprehensively by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and multi-level fuzzy evaluation method. Then, on the basis of determined the alternative points of the terminal, the layout of the terminals is optimized based on the P-median location model, and Microcity software is used to solve the model. Finally, an instance is given to prove that the model method has a certain guiding effect on the layout optimization of urban agglomeration comprehensive passenger terminals.KeywordsComprehensive passenger terminalAttractiveness indexMulti-level fuzzy evaluationMicrocity
