Current planning literature considers rail transit usage a function of neighborhood design (ND) parameters (such as density, diversity and connectivity) around station areas at a micro-level. However, during the early development stages of a rail transit system in a city, integration with the other modes may be equally influential on the rail transit usage, which must be determined. For this purpose, ridership data of 14 rail transit stations were evaluated based on both i) ND design parameters and ii) multimodal integration (MMI) parameters, along two existing urban rail corridors in Ankara, Turkey. A principal component analysis, as a part of quantitative analysis, suggested MMI as one of the three main components. Statistical regression model results also showed a clear relation between the ridership and MMI, which was clearer along the metro corridor, which serves suburban regions.

Evaluating the Relation Between Station Area Design Parameters and Transit Usage for Urban Rail Systems in Ankara, Turkey Ozgur-Cevher, Ozge; Altintasi, Oruc; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01) Urban rail transit (URT) systems are particularly favoured by planners due to their potential in attracting car users. However, a URT investment must be complemented by land-use characteristics at macroscale (whole city) and design parameters at microscale (vicinity of the station). Despite the common referencing to key concepts (i.e. density, diversity and connectivity), the variability in their definitions and scales causes ambiguity in the determination of their quantified impact on URT ridership. Furthe...
Exploring critical success factors for blockchain-based intelligent transportation systems Çaldağ, Murat Tahir; Gökalp, Ebru (2020-01-01) Utilization of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) provides increasing demands on decreasing traffic congestions, transportation safety, and environmental problems as well as increasing transportation capacity. Over the past few years, one of the most disruptive and transformational technologies, blockchain technology, has emerged. As a result of offering more security, privacy, traceability, transparency, and decentralized authority, the utilization of blockchain technology in ITS have increased drast...
Parametric cost estimation system for light rail transit and metro trackworks Gunduz, Murat; Ugur, Latif Onur; Ozturk, Erhan (Elsevier BV; 2011-03-01) The main objective of this work is to develop early cost estimation models for light rail transit and metro trackworks using the multivariable regression and artificial neural network approaches. These two approaches were applied to a data set of 16 projects by using 17 parameters available at the early design phase. The regression analysis estimated the cost of testing samples with an error of 2.32%. On the other hand, artificial neural network estimated the cost with 5.76% error, which was slightly higher...
Comparison of deformations from 2d and 3d fem analysis with field measurements of a top down deep excavation in bağcilar metro station Ustaoğlu, Abdullah Onur; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) In this thesis, 2D and 3D FEM analysis results are compared with field measurements of a top down deep excavation in Bağcılar Metro Station which is on the Otogar - Bağcılar Light Rail Transit Line in İstanbul. First, a literature review on deep excavations is performed. The soil formation observed in the project site is Güngören formation and the dominant soil type is silty clay. After selecting the soil parameters and soil models, 2D and 3D models of the excavation are analyzed by FEM programs PLAXIS2D an...
Türkiye’deki Kentiçi Ulaşım Planlaması Çalışmalarının Değerlendirilmesi Özalp, Musa; Öcalır, Ebru Vesile (2008-1-1) Nazım planların arazi kullanım kararları ve ulaşım yapısı arasındaki etkileşim ve uyumu analiz eden kapsamlı kentsel ulaşım planları dünyanın çeşitli kentleri için 1950’li yıllardan bu yana hazırlanmakta ve uygulanmaktadır. Türkiye’de geçtiğimiz 50 yılda özellikle büyük kentlerde kentsel trafik ve ulaşım sistemlerini planlamak üzere pek çok ulaşım çalışması ve planı yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın, Türkiye’deki kentsel ulaşım planlama çalışmaları anlamında bir envanter niteliği bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türk k...
