Abstract

Stations form the main bottle neck in a public transport journey. Efficient PT-systems depend on the optimal cooperation of modalities which makes transferring essential. For years the node place model has been the main paradigm of looking at stations in the Netherlands. This study aims to add a component to the model by developing a score for the intermodal transfer quality. This is achieved by developing a measurement model based on a multi criteria analysis. Case study measurements are weighed by the weight of their attribute and by the share of the transfer flow they represent.
