Criteria influencing pedestrian-friendliness of first/last mile transit journey using Analytical Network Process (ANP) group judgement

The pedestrian-friendliness of the first/last mile (FLM) transit journey is one of the keys in influencing the
quality of transit services. The demands of transit riders are increasing as they have started to ask for
more than just accessibility which includes a good walking environment to access the service. Most local
governments are aware of this as many of them have the guidelines in planning for a walkable transit
services. However, they need to prioritise the criteria influencing pedestrian-friendliness accordingly. This
paper proposes a framework for evaluating the priorities of criteria influencing pedestrian-friendliness
by using Analytical Network Process (ANP) which relies on group judgement from experts who have wide
knowledge and experience within the scope of the study. It can be conducted in six stages which are (1)
determining criteria influencing pedestrian-friendliness (2) developing ANP model of the criteria and their
dependencies, (3) obtaining experts judgement, (4) aggregating the criteria’s priorities, (5) deriving group
judgement of the criteria’s priorities, and (6) ranking the criteria accordingly. In the end, this study will
suggest the priorities for criteria influencing pedestrian-friendliness which can be used as reference in
planning for walking environment to access transit services. This study highlighted nineteen criteria that
could be used in representing the pedestrian-friendliness of FLM. Based on the analysis, it is suggested that
from the nineteen criteria, the presence of signage showing direction is the most important criterion followed
by roofed walkway, convenience in term of walking time, access to public parks and presence of traffic lights. |
