Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interchange hub is the gateway to the city, and is a critical element in developing a sustainable and efficient public transport system. This publication presents ideas for improving interchanges by enhancing the quality of the journey experience for passengers. It draws upon international best practice and explains how ease and speed of mode transfers, coupled with the availability of amenities and user facilities, can make a journey more enjoyable. The lessons and innovations presented here may be used for designing the next generation of interchange hubs in the People's Republic of China.

Book Sustainability and the Design of Transport Interchanges

Download or read book Sustainability and the Design of Transport Interchanges written by Brian Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-24 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interchange is a new form of transport building which integrates into a single whole various modes of public transport, putting the passenger first (rather than the infrastructure). This book presents design principles for transport interchanges and offers analysis of best practice in the UK and abroad. The author demonstrates how this complex new building type integrates with the city, on the one hand, and with different types of transport on the other. In this integration design in both plan and section are important, as is urban and landscape design. The idea of ‘interchange’ is increasingly relevant as town planners, engineers and architects address the question of sustainable development with its emphasis on energy efficiency, social cohesion, access for the elderly, and urban regeneration.

Book Transport Terminals and Modal Interchanges

Download or read book Transport Terminals and Modal Interchanges written by Christopher Blow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to review a trend in transport systems which has only recently come of age: the multi-modal interchange. Separate modes of transport are being linked through 'joined-up thinking', and transport designers and authorities are only now able to exploit interchange opportunities. This book presents examples of how these new opportunities have been planned and designed, and outlines how transfer and mobility can be improved in the future. Blow takes the airport as the focal point of true multi-modal passenger terminals and presents the development of these buildings as representing a new experience in travel. The book shows that the success of the experience of transferring from one mode of transport to another depends on the many factors, including congestion in an already overloaded system, and the way that designers and managers have addressed contingency planning. International examples are drawn from areas where mobility is most concentrated and the demands on design are at their highest. The book also addresses important issues of rebuilding and redevelopment, where once separate modes of transport are being linked to each other, and where short-term inconveniences rectify past wrongs in the long term. It is a compendium of architectural and engineering achievement.
