ROLE OF SIMULATION MODELS IN THE TRANSIT-STATION DESIGN PROCESS

This paper summarizes the ways in which a transit-station simulation model could be developed to function as a more integral part of the design process. It examines in detail the interface of the user with the model. Specific problems dealing with network and spatial representation are discussed, and the model output is matched with the information needs of the designer at the appropriate stages in the design process. The paper concludes with a discussion of the cost-effectiveness of station-simulation models. /Author/
