  • Comparison Between Bus Rapid Transit and Light-Rail Transit Systems: a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Approach
    Urban Transport XXIII 143 COMPARISON BETWEEN BUS RAPID TRANSIT AND LIGHT-RAIL TRANSIT SYSTEMS: A MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS APPROACH MARÍA EUGENIA LÓPEZ LAMBAS1, NADIA GIUFFRIDA2, MATTEO IGNACCOLO2 & GIUSEPPE INTURRI2 1TRANSyT, Transport Research Centre, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain 2Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture (DICAR), University of Catania, Italy ABSTRACT The construction choice between two different transport systems in urban areas, as in the case of Light-Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) solutions, is often performed on the basis of cost-benefit analysis and geometrical constraints due to the available space for the infrastructure. Classical economic analysis techniques are often unable to take into account some of the non-monetary parameters which have a huge impact on the final result of the choice, since they often include social acceptance and sustainability aspects. The application of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques can aid decision makers in the selection process, with the possibility to compare non-homogeneous criteria, both qualitative and quantitative, and allowing the generation of an objective ranking of the different alternatives. The coupling of MCDA and Geographic Information System (GIS) environments also permits an easier and faster analysis of spatial parameters, and a clearer representation of indicator comparisons. Based on these assumptions, a LRT and BRT system will be analysed according to their own transportation, economic, social and environmental impacts as a hypothetical exercise; moreover, through the use of MCDA techniques a global score for both systems will be determined, in order to allow for a fully comprehensive comparison. Keywords: BHLS, urban transport, transit systems, TOPSIS.

  • Crime on Public Transport: ‘Static’ and ‘Non-Static’ (Moving) Crime Events
    Western Criminology Review 5(3), 25-42 (2004) Crime on Public Transport: ‘Static’ and ‘Non-Static’ (Moving) Crime Events Andrew D. Newton University of Huddersfield _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT This paper presents a theoretical discussion conceptualising some of the problems evident in analysing patterns of crime and disorder on public transport, and the environments within which such crimes occur. The public transport system is a multifaceted arena, with a complex interaction of settings (buses, trains and trams), facilities (stops, stations and interchanges) and users (staff and passengers). The design of these facilities, and the internal (inside a vehicle) and external (that a vehicle traverses) environments may all influence the level of crime experienced on the system. Thus, examining the manifestation of crime on public transport systems becomes a highly complex process. Current methods of crime analysis focus on ‘static’ crime events with a precise location (x,y co-ordinate). However on public transport crime may occur on a moving vehicle (non-static), and it is difficult to define a single location for this. For the purposes of analysis, it is contended that non-static crimes have a location, between two points and two times, represented as a single snapshot of time. Thus, in addition to analysing static crime events (points and areas), attention should also be focussed on how to analyse non-static (linear) crime events. Two possible techniques for such analysis are presented, alongside a discussion of the difficulties in collecting accurate and consistent data on crime on public transport. It is anticipated that an increase in the availability of such data will enable future empirical testing of the ideas presented.
