Abstract The aim of transit-oriented development (TOD) is to create a livable urban environment by improving the integration between land-use and transportation systems. The capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, aims to promote a sustainable transportation system by launching its first light rail transit (LRT) network to control the current pattern of increased congestion and the need for mass transport. Planning for TOD around existing transit stations helps achieve improved transit choice and encourages local economic development. Therefore, this article proposes a methodology to quantitatively measure the existing TOD in terms of a TOD index within the walkable distance of transit nodes by measuring the criteria that define TOD levels. The TOD index is calculated for areas of 22 stations on the East-West LRT line of Addis Ababa. Depending on the value of the TOD index, certain stations are identified to have a potential TOD but poor transit accessibility. With these results, the recommendation to improve TOD planning can become accurate for each station, depending on its relevant factors. Such results also help identify each station's potential for TOD planning and its improvements toward future local developments.

为潜在的以公交为导向的发展确定公交节点:埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴的轻轨走廊

摘要公交导向发展(TOD)的目的是通过改善土地利用和交通运输系统之间的融合来创造宜居的城市环境。埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴旨在通过建立首个轻轨交通(LRT)网络来控制当前交通拥堵加剧和大众运输需求的方式,从而促进可持续交通运输系统的发展。在现有公交车站周围进行TOD规划有助于改善公交选择,并促进当地经济发展。因此,本文提出了一种方法,该方法可通过测量定义TOD级别的标准,根据公交节点可步行距离内的TOD指数来定量测量现有TOD。TOD指数是针对亚的斯亚贝巴东西轻轨线22个站点的区域计算的。根据TOD索引的值,确定某些站点具有潜在的TOD,但公交可及性较差。有了这些结果,根据每个站的相关因素,改进TOD规划的建议就可以变得准确。这样的结果还有助于确定每个站点进行TOD规划的潜力及其对未来本地开发的改进。
