Urban Rail Transit Network Evaluation Based on TOPSIS

Abstract:

In order to improve the objectivity of urban rail transit network evaluation and achieve the sub-file of quality level of preliminary planning, a comprehensive evaluation method for urban rail transit network was proposed based on TOPSIS, then the evaluation model of urban rail transit network was constructed. This method was applied to Xian urban rail transit network planning. The result shows that case-4 is best one among the four urban rail transit network planning of Xian and consistent with the passenger flow prediction. The evaluation model for urban rail transit network based on TOPSIS is objective, which involves few parameters, simple operation, science evaluation and provides a basis of decision for urban rail transit network planning.
