DECISION MODELS FOR TRANSIT STATION DESIGN (ABRIDGMENT)

Two types of decision problems in the station design process are addressed: (a) how to generate one or more candidate designs for a transit station at a particular site and (b) how to choose the best design from a set of alternatives. A description of the terminal planning and design process has been formulated that orders the steps involved and identifies the decisions required at each step. This description provides an efficient and nonrepetitive guide through the various design considerations. Results are presented from a survey of design practices administered to professionals involved in various aspects of transit station design. The respondents rated the priority they felt each of 16 design elements should have in the overall station design process and judged the relative importance of each of 19 criteria to the overall success of a station design. These judgments were used to derive estimates of parameters for two decision models.
