The Structural Equation Model for Public Evaluation of the Transfer Efficiency of Rail Transit P&R Facilities

Abstract:

The public participation in evaluating the rail transit P&R facilities is beneficial for enhancing the objectivity of the evaluation and reflecting the social equity to the greatest degree, so that the decision-making can be more people-oriented. Based on the analysis of the P&R travelling features of sedan cars and the transfer facilities service level, this paper, from the perspective of the public evaluation, makes a structural equation model which shows the evaluation of sedan car travelers toward the transfer efficiency of rail transit P&R facilities and elaborates the identification, fitting, correction and applications of the model.
