| Popis: | 98 The development of bus transfer terminal has a preliminary achievement in Taiwan. The biggest one - Taipei Bus Station has been launched for commercial operation based on public private partnership approach since August 2009 while its level of service (LOS) and operation performance are still the main concerns by both public authority and passengers. This research aims to develop an appropriate evaluate method for level of service of Taipei Bus Station based on characteristics of bus operation in the terminal. This research first selects potential indicators for assessment of LOS. Then, this research conducts an intensive field investigation on Taipei Bus Station and its surrounding environments to identify and confirm the factors which affect LOS and capacity of the termnal. Finally, this study proposes a LOS classification by applying simulation approach in which various scenarios are analyzed to quantify the relationship between bus delay and service volumes. Then, the upper limit of the terminal capacity can also be estimated based on the simulation results. It is found that the service capacity is 300 vehicles/hour for Taipei Bus Station. It is suggested bus flow should be limited within 280 VPH for maintaining good service quality and operation efficiency. It is expected that the results obtained can be used for assessment of LOS in bus terminal and those improvement startegies for Taipei Bus Station. The results can also be considered as the reference for planning and design of bus transfer terminal and for development a LOS guideline in the future. |
