特定區內短距離交通系統之設置與評估

Abstract

本研究係以特定區內之短距離交通為研究之對象。本研究所指「特定區」係指機能相近且共同開發使用的某一區域而言，例如商業行政特定區、產業特定區、校園特定區及運輸節點特定區。而「短距離」係指以交通方式以步行為主，但有可能稍遠以致太過勞累而需其他輔助設施或運具的距離而言。 因此，特定區內之短距離交通系統乃是扮演著「步行者支援」之角色的公共交通方式，並可作為其他各種交通方式之聯絡，成為都市整體大眾運輸系統的一環。 本研究將短距離交通系統依規模分為自動步道、公車及自動旅客載具三類，並針對其不同之型式加以彙整。而短距離交通系統之特性則可分為硬體特性和乘坐特性二個構面，分別代表社會背景的要求和使用者的心理期望兩方面。 經分析，自動旅客載具適於需要高速度、高密集度、時間準確的對象。步行和移動步道的特性相仿，可互相整合提高其舒適性。公車的特性則居於前兩者間為一折衷。最後並根據前述概念，以信義計畫區為對象，試作短距離交通設施設置之配置與研擬。

This research is aimed on the short-linking transit in specific areas. The term of “specific area” means an area with similar land uses or developments such as a bussiness district, an industry park, a collage campus, or a transportation hub. While the term of “short-linking transit” refers to a trip which is usually brought off by walking but is too long to walk easily at the same time and would be helped by some other modes or infrastructures. Meanwhile, a short-linking transit would makes connections between other transportation modes and therefore becomes a part of urban public transit system. In this paper we divide the short-linking transit modes into 3 sorts, which are autowalks, buses, and automatic people movers (APMs). And then we analyze those systems by using some of hardware characteristics and onboard characteristics. After the analysis, we find that APMs suit those areas which need faster and more frequent services, while autowalks must have smooth combinations to walkways to improve the experience of walking. And bus systems have advantages of both which could be used flexibly to be an alternative. Finally we do a case study of Xinyi district, a modernly planned shopping area of Taipei City, and try to range suitable short-linking transit system within this area by introducing the concepts discribed before.
