Planning And Development of Public Transportation Terminals

摘要

The report describes the proceedings of a National Conference on the Planning and Development of Public Transportation Terminals held in Silver Spring, Maryland on September 21-24, 1980. The conference included both formal papers presented to plenary sessions and small group workshops focused on particular design issues of current importance. Formal papers covered all aspects of transit station planning and a sign, with special attention to passengers, access and traffic, and operations and maintenance. Recent experiences in transit station design and renovation were reviewed, including intermodal terminals, from both domestic and international perspectives. Particular systems described in detail included WMATA, BART, MARTA, and New York. An overview of the Methodology for Transit Station Design was also presented. Workshops dealt with nine topic areas: Transit Station Design Methodology; Intermodal Terminal Planning, Design and Operations; Passenger Processing and Information Systems; Station Access and Traffic; Station Maintenance and Operations; Transit Station Security; Design for the Handicapped; Joint Development, Land Use and Station Impacts; Computer Methods and Transit Station Simulation.
