| Summary | Student: Yu-Chih WU, 2006.07 Institute of Traffic and Transportation, National Chiao Tung University This research is aimed on the short-linking transit in specific areas. The term of “specific area” means an area with similar land uses or developments such as a bussiness district, an industry park, a collage campus, or a transportation hub. While the term of “short-linking transit” refers to a trip which is usually brought off by walking but is too long to walk easily at the same time and would be helped by some other modes or infrastructures. Meanwhile, a short-linking transit would makes connections between other transportation modes and therefore becomes a part of urban public transit system. In this paper we divide the short-linking transit modes into 3 sorts, which are autowalks, buses, and automatic people movers (APMs). And then we analyze those systems by using some of hardware characteristics and onboard characteristics. |
