Evaluation on Urban Public Transit Operational Level of Service Based on Public Transportation Priority Strategy

Abstract:

This paper started from the perspective of the implementation effect of public transportation priority development strategy, and studied on the evaluation of urban public transit operational level of service, then whether the strategy was well put into effect could be examined. On the basis of the existing research on the evaluation index of public transit operational level of service, this paper carried out a microscopic level of service evaluation on public transportation priority strategy. Then the effect of the strategy was analyzed from the level of passengers’ satisfaction. At last, the result of this strategy was examined by the increasing of proportion of the public transportation travelers. Finally, according to the establishment of the index system, it was analyzed respectively from the two aspects of objective and subjective with the combination of AHP and passenger satisfaction survey. Then the grade of urban public transit operational level of service could be obtained.
