Location Planning Approach for Intermodal Terminals in Urban and Suburban Rail Transport
The aim of this study is to find a suitable methodology for planning the locations of intermodal terminals in an urban transit context. The location planning approach, which has been developed and makes this possible, consists of three phases. The first phase is the making of the geographic informat...
