Abstract

This study developed indicators for individual evaluations of urban rail stations and then indicators for integrated evaluation for reviewing the results of the individual evaluations in connection with the need to identify the problems concerning the improvement of existing stations to carry out improvements more objectively. With regard to indicators for individual evaluations, the inconvenience in movement within an urban rail station was divided into aspects associated with traffic path, safety, information signs, and facilities for moving passengers. Methods were then developed based eight indicators; passenger path curvature, movement impedance per passenger type, passenger conflict probability, information load, text size, installation height, and the adequacy of escalator/elevator installation. Considering the difference in items deemed to be important in individual evaluation, the weighted value was calculated by means of the Analytic Hierarchy Process method. Level of Service grades in indicators for evaluation of integrated convenience ranged from 6 points for “A” grade in indicators for individual evaluations to 1 point for “F” grade. The highest result obtained through weighted value multiplied by each indicator was given an “A” grade while the lowest result was given an “F” grade. It is expected that the results of this research can be used as the basis for proper budgeting associated with the need to mitigate inconvenience in the use of urban rail stations.
