Abstract

To optimize the functional space layout of various transportation modes of the integrated passenger transport hub, and improve the transfer efficiency and service quality of the hub, a quantitative analysis of the transfer flow lines of the integrated passenger hub is carried out. The research clarifies the layout factors of the functional areas of the “get on and drop off areas” for each mode of transportation, generates a candidate set of the placement of each functional area, and determines the priority ranking of the candidate sets and the transfer starting and end locations. Based on the analysis of passenger route selection factors, the basic transfer streamline network is generated. The basic network is distributed according to the improved shortest path allocation algorithm, and the relevant parameters are calculated to simplify the initial transfer streamline network, generate and compare the initial network plan of the transfer streamline. Take Wuxi Integrated Passenger Transport Hub as an example to verify: when the weight coefficient λ = 0.65 and the number of allocations n = 207, the optimal solution T = 2,738,027 s is obtained. As the calculation is based on the 15,000 passenger transfer flow at Wuxi Station, the optimized average transfer time per person is 3 min 2 s. Compared with the current average transfer time per person at Wuxi Station of 4.5 min, the optimization effect of this paper is significant. The initial network generation and comparison method of the transfer flow line enables the space layout of the transportation modes of the hub to be coordinated with the transfer flow line design, and solves the problem of the transfer flow line design when the hub building space layout is determined. The hub is designed to meet the requirements of functional space layout, passenger transfer needs and interchange efficiency at the initial stage of architectural design.
