PLANNING AND DESIGN OF INTERMODAL TRANSIT FACILITIES

This paper presents an analysis of the present state of the art of transit station planning and design. It discusses the design process in terms of (a) design parameters and standards (e.g., stairways, ramps, and passageways; escalators; platforms; fare and exit control; moving walkways and ramps; bus facilities; and parking facilities); (b) design of the station environment (e.g., lighting, ventilation, acoustics, and fire control; passenger information and graphics; passenger security; commercial activities; and special provision for the handicapped); and (c) design methodology (e.g., deterministic, probabilistic, and impedance models; simulation; and validation problems). A classified bibliography is included.
