Comprehensive Evaluation for Urban Rail Transit Network Based on TOPSIS Model

Abstract:

A comprehensive evaluation system was proposed in terms of operational effect, network structure, social benefits, strategic development and implementation. The indicators layer was taken as the index set, and the network programs were taken as the domain set to establish the original decision-making matrix. The comprehensive weights of the indexes were determined by the AHP and Entropy Method, with giving full consideration to the expert knowledge and experience, as well as data itself implies. Also, the weighted normalized decision-making was constructed. The positive and negative ideals were determined based on the TOPSIS, the pros and cons of the line networks were determined by calculating the degree of closeness of the programs to the negative ideal solution. This method was applied to Xi’an urban rail transit network planning. The result shows that this method has a better application prospect for its simple calculation and scientific decision.
