Institute of Transportation, MOTC

       Ministry of Transportation and Communications has been committed to achieve seamless transfer service between rail and highway. Most of previous studies and research projects regarded travelers’ behavior in generally andignored disadvantaged groups (for example: young children, women, pregnantwomen, seniors, etc.) or people with reduced mobility. If the system is designed to meet the needs of disadvantaged groups as the minimum threshold when it is initially designed, it is bound to meet the needs of the general public.
      This studyspecifically considers the differences of gender and the age such that the results
will be more relevant and practical. Based on the analysis results of this study, relevant government agencies can take the factors of above mentioned into account when planning, and implement more comprehensive services for passengers of different groups. This study first describes the surrounding
environment for the case stations, the second part is the literature review; the third part describes the simulation analysis for different genders and ages including parameter setting; The last part explains the simulation results of each case. It is found under the time gap of transferring, male passenger can catch the bus, but if changing to female passenger will not be able to catch the bus.
