This follows the following steps for the analysis of transportation system:
- S1 Consider all modes of transportation
- S2 Consider all elements of transportation like persons, goods,
carriers (vehicles), paths in the network facilities in which vehicles are
going, the terminal, etc.
- S3 Consider all movements of passengers and goods for every O-D
pair.
- S4 Consider the total trip for every flows for every O-D over all
modes and facilities.
As an example, consider the study of intra-city passenger transport in
metro cities.
- Consider all modes: i.e rail, road, buses, private automobiles, trucks,
new modes like LRT, MRTS, etc.
- Consider all elements like direct and indirect links, vehicles that can
operate, terminals, transfer points, intra-city transit like taxis, autos,
urban transit.
- Consider diverse pattern of O-D of passenger and goods.
- Consider service provided for access, egress, transfer points and
mid-block travel etc.
Once all these components are identified, the planner can focus on elements
that are of real concern.
