Abstract

The success of integrating the railway into the public urban and suburban transport depends upon a range of internal and external factors, with challenges arising in their number and complex interdependence. Furthermore, the significance and impact of some factors are uneven in cities. There is a necessity for the right mix of different factors that drive significant use of railway into the Public Transport System (PTS). The research problem is finding and defining factors needed to assess the success of railway implementation into public urban and suburban transport. An efficiency analysis of the factors that impact the level of the planned transport system use was conducted in a hierarchical or network system. The 1st step of research is to the determination of relevant factors. In this research 27 factors were determined. Based on the determining factors and their connection it is possible to design an Analytic Network Process (ANP) to evaluate the importance of factors. Factors are divided into 4 clusters: (1) user features, (2) road transport features, (3) services features, and (4) city and corridor features. Testing was carried out by group decision-making process by members of an expert panel. According to the testing, the most important factors according to their weight are: (1) frequency with 0.11651, (2) employment level with 0.10146, (3) ticket price with 0.09714, (4) reliability with 0.07256, and (5) integration of services with 0,07065. Using the weight of each factor it is possible to evaluate the success likelihood of a concrete project. In this research case study was oriented on integrating the railway into the public urban and suburban transport in the City of Rijeka in Croatia. For this purpose, the relevance of the determined weight factors was used for the concrete project of integration in the City of Rijeka that resulting in 67.17% fulfilment of the successful integration railway into the public urban and suburban transport.

铁路融入城市-郊区公共交通的成功因素评价

将铁路纳入城市和郊区公共交通的成功取决于一系列内部和外部因素，这些因素的数量和复杂的相互依存关系带来了挑战。此外，一些因素的重要性和影响在城市中是不平衡的。在公共交通系统(PTS)中大量使用铁路的不同因素的正确组合是必要的。研究的问题是寻找和确定评估铁路在城市和郊区公共交通中实施成功所需的因素。在分级或网络系统中，对影响计划运输系统使用水平的因素进行了效率分析。研究的第一步是确定相关因素。本研究确定了27个因素。基于决定因素和它们之间的联系，可以设计一个分析网络过程(ANP)来评价因素的重要性。因子分为4个集群:(1)用户特征，(2)道路运输特征，(3)服务特征，(4)城市与走廊特征。测试是通过专家组成员的集体决策过程进行的。根据测试结果，按其权重计算，最重要的因素是:(1)频率为0.11651，(2)就业水平为0.10146，(3)票价为0.09714，(4)可靠性为0.07256，(5)服务集成为0.07065。利用每个因素的权重，就有可能评估一个具体项目成功的可能性。在本研究中，案例研究的方向是将克罗地亚里耶卡市的铁路整合到公共城市和郊区交通中。为此，将确定的权重因素的相关性用于里耶卡市的具体一体化项目，使铁路成功融入城市和郊区公共交通的成功率达到67.17%。

期刊介绍： At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. TRANSPORT is an international peer-reviewed journal covering main aspects of transport and providing a source of information for the engineer and the applied scientist. The journal TRANSPORT publishes articles in the fields of: transport policy; fundamentals of the transport system; technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport; technology for multimodal transportation and logistics; loading technology; roads, railways; airports, ports, transport terminals; traffic safety and environment protection; design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles; pipeline transport; transport energetics; fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials; teamwork of customs and transport; transport information technologies; transport economics and management; transport standards; transport educology and history, etc.
