ABSTRACT

Gateways in emerging megaregions have the existing transport infrastructure tο support modal shift and deliver sustainable development. To address these issues, there is a need for more efficient traffic management solutions and an accompanying shift away from road transportation towards more environmentally friendly modes both for freight and for passengers. More importantly, an integrated methodological approach needs to be adopted by decision-makers when they assess existing and planned transport infrastructure for its ongoing sustainable development. This research provides a novel approach to the performance evaluation of modal shift and transport infrastructure service quality. The application and combination of Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) and Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) in an intermodal regional case study provides a straightforward methodology for the assessment of sustainable development. In addition, added value is provided to the literature for long term scenarios’ planning for sustainable transport infrastructure.

摘要

新兴大区域的门户拥有现有的交通基础设施，以支持模式转变并实现可持续发展。为了解决这些问题，需要更有效的交通管理解决方案，并伴随着从公路运输向货运和乘客的更环保方式的转变。更重要的是，决策者在评估现有和计划中的运输基础设施以实现其可持续发展时，必须采用一种综合的方法学方法。这项研究为模式转移和运输基础设施服务质量的绩效评估提供了一种新颖的方法。重要性-绩效分析（IPA）和层次分析法（AHP）的结合应用在一个多式联运的区域案例研究中，为评估可持续发展提供了一种简单的方法。此外，为长期情景下的可持续交通基础设施规划提供了附加值。
