Functional Evaluation of Integrated Passenger Transportation Hub Based on Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method

As the transportation infrastructure for residents in China is rapidly developing and the integrated transportation hubs are vigorously growing, it becomes worthwhile to evaluate these hubs for maximum utility use. This paper aims to evaluate the factors that affect the functional utility of hubs. The system for passenger transportation function is constructed from five aspects: transportation organization, area service function, transfer distribution, information guidance, and auxiliary service. A fuzzy integrated evaluation method is used, and the weight determination is based on the analytic hierarchy process. The weights of evaluation indexes and fuzzy evaluation matrix are determined, and the results are calculated. Taking a high-speed rail-oriented integrated passenger transportation hub, the functional evaluation of the hub is carried out based on a questionnaire survey during holiday peak hours. The functional evaluation score of the hub is 3.032 points, whose function realization degree is relatively low, and it is consistent with congestion during holiday peak hours. The case study verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of the evaluation system.
