Abstract EN
Urban public transportation hubs are the key nodes of the public transportation system.
The location of such hubs is a combinatorial problem.
Many factors can affect the decision-making of location, including both quantitative and qualitative factors; however, most current research focuses solely on either the quantitative or the qualitative factors.
Little has been done to combine these two approaches.
To fulfill this gap in the research, this paper proposes a novel approach to the public transportation hub location problem, which takes both quantitative and qualitative factors into account.
In this paper, an improved multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) method based on TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and deviation is proposed to convert the qualitative factors of each hub into quantitative evaluation values.
A location model with stochastic passenger flows is then established based on the above evaluation values.
Finally, stochastic programming theory is applied to solve the model and to determine the location result.
A numerical study shows that this approach is applicable and effective.
