| Abstract | Bangkok is one of the fastest growing cities in South - East Asia. With the ongoing severe traffic congestion problems in Bangkok, the public transit systems such as BTS, MRT are the first priority to implement for solving these problems. Consequently , the e valuation of accessibility measures is being needed to investigate the effectiveness of using these systems. This paper proposes the methodologies of public transportation service evaluation and the integrated transit system will be introduced to Bangkok public transit systems for accessible to the transit users. The proposed station - based service evaluation index (point - to - point) and area - based service evaluation index (area - to - area) are used to measure the accessibility by considering transfer time, travel time, waiting time and travel speed. The presented methodologies provided a tool for evaluation accessibility of Bangkok public transport networks and may find the critical parts of transit networks for prospective purpose such as planning for the improvement of service quality. In addition, shortest path algorithm incorporated with transfer time, travel time and waiting time is proposed in this research study. |
