The Study Of Planning City Passenger Traffic Hub

City transportation is the foundation and prerequisite of city development During urbanization, transportation has become the key issue that impacts the normal operation of the city and the persistence of its evolutioa The planning and construction of passenger transportation hub is one of the difficulties associated with city transportation in china. The city passenger transportation system consists of multiple transportation modes. A transportation route of a city resident is usually a combination of several transportation modes. The switching between different transportations modes determines the efficiency of city passenger transportation system. The most effective way to organize different transportation modes is setting up large scale transportation hubs. The switching between different transportation modes can be performed in a small area so that the efficiency of switching is improved by reducing the time cost Furthermore, the construction of several transportation hubs helps the city transportation system evolve and become a more dynamic system.This thesis studies the end-to-end of planning a city passenger transportation hub. We first analyze the theory of passenger transportation hub. Then we propose the technical guidance of planning city passenger transportation hub based on our theory and characteristics of city passerigertiansportation hub. Next we carry out transportation demand prediction with respect to passenger transportation hub. After that, we study the city layout and discuss the location and placement of transportation hubs. The central part of our thesis is studying the placement of passenger transportation hubs in Xi'an to verify our methodology. Lastly we describe related issues on transportation organization, environment analysis, and economics of passenger transportation hubs. We study the coordination of different issues to conclude our planning theory.The planning examples used in this paper are railway, long-distance bus and city bus stations. The planning of transportation hub differs if the corresponding transportation channel differs. However, the planning theory and methodology described in this thesis is general, and can be applied to other city transportation hubs such as harbors and airports.
