CONCEPTION OF LEVEL OF SERVICE OF PUBLIC INTERMODAL TRANSPORT JUNCTIONS

Abstract

The planning of passenger intermodal transport nodes consider like an important part of sustainable transportation system. For projecting of passenger transport junction give consideration in the current urban planning. This article shows the concept of the level of service for functional estimation of different types of transport infrastructure and network of streets. Supposition was made by author about the main indicator of service level of intermodal nodes functional which is used to estimate the transport junction. Author suggests to estimate the level of service of users of intermodal passenger using indicator of total cost of time required to transfer, which are a sum of costs of time required to move from landing to boarding area and time of transport expectation. It is offered to set the boarders of level of service on the basis of inverse distribution indicators of the whole duration of interchanging that was determined using results of researching of different types of intermodal passenger nodes. The development of evaluation scale of levels of service will be performed on the basis of data that were got during the researching of transfer hubs in Vienna. In the future the approbation of this scale using the example of function quality evaluation number of passenger transport nodes of Irkutsk and Moscow and following development of practical recommendation.
