Public Transit Mode Selection for an Urban New District Corridor
With the expansion of urban space, many new districts emerge outside the central city. Large cities then face new traffic problems as the traffic demands between new districts and central city increase. Under limited road resources, most cities have committed to rapid transit development. Because there are several kinds of rapid transit modes that can be selected for an urban corridor, the government or the decision-making department should choose the most suitable rapid transit mode based on its actual demand. This paper provides a quantitative method based on value engineering. With the establishment of a functional index and life circle cost index, the value index of various transit modes was calculated, thus providing a quantitative decision basis for rapid transit mode selection in urban corridor. This approach was illustrated by a case in Zhenjiang New District in China, and proved to be reasonable.
