Standards for transport interchanges (SVI2001/525)
Overview
Background & policy context:
Encouraging combined mobility is one of the crucial objectives in transport policy for the purpose of achieving more sustainable growth in transport. ln this context "transport interchanges" (Tl) represent sensitive areas in the trip chain, which have a substantial effect on "combined mobility behaviour".
At those interfaces transfers are made between rail, bus, tram, car, walking and bikes, and it is at such places that the requirements on these modes of transport overlap. Transport interchanges are frequented by various user groups, who have a variety of different needs and thus different expectations as to the design and form of transport interchanges.
Objectives:
"Standards for transport interchanges" - the current research project, was launched to develop and/or compile standards for the design of transport interchanges by way of qualitative core parameters and quantitative core indicators.
These standards are to aid various actors (municipalities, public transport companies, private transport service providers, traffic planner etc.) in their planning and implementation of transport interchanges.
