Ranking Alternatives of Combined Transport with Metro based on Performance (Case Study: Tehran Metro SADEGHIYEH Station)

This study aims to evaluate intermodal seamless transportation system in Tehran's subway (case study: SADEGHIYEH station) through prioritise existing transportation alternatives (feeder modes) and assesing and comparing the current situation according to these priorities. Therefore, two perspectives exist. First, this study applied Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based on relevant expert’s opinions in order to assess and prioritize intermodal seamless transportation system from a policy planner’s perspective to find an improvement strategy. To achieve this purpose, the effective criteria through the literature review identified then main criteria have been revised. In addition, weights of criteria are calculated and then the piority of each alternative is determined and the results have been analyzed. The results indicate that the bus has the highest priority among the alternatives being discussed and vans & taxis, bikes & walking are the next rank. The results of the sensivity analysis shows that change in weight of the three cases of the criteria can cause changes in prioritizing alternatives. Second, regarding the passenger’s perspectives based on relevant passenger’s opinions, most passengers tend to use bus and vans & taxis, bikes & walking was found to be less preferable than other alternatives. Finally, comparing the results of two perspectives indicates performance of the system in current situation is good and appropriate.
