Using Multi-Criteria Analysis to Identify Suitable Light Rail Transit Route
Jurnal Alam Bina, Jilid 09, No; 01, 2007. USING MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY SUITABLE LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT ROUTE Ahmad Nazri Muhamad Ludin, Siti Noor Haslinda Mohd Latip Email: [email protected] Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Built Environment, University Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor, Malaysia ABSTRACT Public transportation planning and development are undergoing continuous changes often prompted by both external factors and policy-directed responses. The role of public transit, particularly rail transit, becomes increasingly importance with the changing demographic and economic pattern. The trend of returning to urban living for example, has significantly increased the demand for efficient public transportation in urban centers. However, the design and development of Light Rail Transit (LRT) route seldom takes into consideration land use changes and demand. This paper investigates how non-spatial and spatial data can be integrated within a multi criteria decision framework to formulate and evaluate land use development corridor to determine suitable route for LRT. A raster base multi-criteria analysis model was developed base on a set and specific objectives, criteria, indicator and data requirement. The set criteria and indicator proposed are in line with the objectives to improve public transportation as stipulated in the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan. A case study approach is undertaken within a selected LRT railroad in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The model, integrating GIS and external software, shows that suitable LRT alignment can be identified that take into account social, institutional and environmental objectives. The approach will assist in the planning and development of LRT network, and thus maximizing usage of rail-based public transport to serve the community.

From downtown New Britain riders can transfer to nearly all other CTtransit routes serving New Britain, as well as CTfastrak routes for service to Hartford. In addition, Route 506 also has transfer opportunities with Route 66 and Route 121 at multiple locations on the campus of the UConn Health Center in Farmington and with Route 902 on Farm Springs Road (Figure 2). FIGURE 2 | TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES TRANSFER TO SERVING Route 66 Hartford and Unionville Route 121 Farmington, Newington, Hartford, East Hartford Route 902 Downtown Hartford, New Britain, Farmington Alignments and Service Patterns The primary alignment of Route 506 travels outbound from downtown New Britain via Main Street and Washington Street. The route follows Washington Street for three blocks, turns right on Lasalle Street, and makes an immediate left turn on to Farmington Avenue. The route travels northwest on Farmington Avenue and continues as the road transitions to Fienemann Road.

MCT) and Light Rail Plan
DRAFT 59 Rail Futures Inc THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN Moving People in a City of 8 Million 25 May 2019 This paper has been prepared by Rail Futures Incorporated in the public interest. Rail Futures Inc is an independent non-partisan group formed to advocate cost effective rail and intermodal solutions for public transport and freight problems based on sound commercial, economic and social reasoning. Rail Futures members include experienced rail professionals, engineers, planners and economists. Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-2050, May 2019 Version 59 - DRAFT FOR COMMENT Rail Futures Institute 1 Foreword Melbourne once had one of the world’s best public transport systems. The forethought and planning of Victorians more than a century ago, and their capacity to value the welfare of Victorians of the future -us - as highly as their own, helped make Melbourne one of the world’s economically most productive and liveable cities. For the past few generations, myopia, carelessness and excessive valuation of the present over the future have been squandering that wonderful legacy. The economic and social life of this city will be deeply impaired by barriers to movement of people around the city unless chronic underinvestment over recent generations is remedied. The Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-50 demonstrates the way to correct the mistakes of recent generations, and that some contemporary Victorians are up to the challenge. The Report is comprehensive, creative and authoritative. It is an excellent foundation for rebuilding Melbourne to secure its position as one of the world’s most successful cities. Melbourne is growing more rapidly than any other large city in the developed world.

Abstract This document provides information on the collection and use of passenger mile (PM) data that may be helpful to the transit industry in reconsidering the use of PM data for transit planning and fund allocation. Historically the industry seldom uses PM data. This reluctance results largely from five perceptions that the industry has had about PM data: 1) determining PM is difficult; 2) determining PM is expensive; 3) PM data are unreliable; 4) using PM data in fund allocation favors transit agencies serving longer trips; and 5) PM data are not useful beyond reporting them to the National Transit Database.
