SYSTEM-STRUCTURE PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND DESIGN METHOD . CONFERENCE PAPERS ON THE WORKING DAYS ON TRAFFIC ENGINEERING 1989

SYSTEEMOPBOUW OPENBAAR VERVOER EN ONTWERPMETHODIEK

A public transport system consisting of connecting subsystems, each with its specific function, is very suitable for a systematic design method. In this paper such a method is described, based on linking the town and country structure with the subsystems functions. After classifying the town and country structure, four designing stages take place: (1) location of nodes; (2) placing of links; (3) selecting transport technique and route; and (4) designing the time-table structure. On a regional scale, the different public transport services are least coherent, and it is here that the transport demand is expected to increase the most. For that reason, a further analysis is given on regional public transport. (TRRL)
