  1. Study of Transit Corridors Based on Goldline in LA UP206A Final Presentation Feng Zhu, Mar/19/2012

  2. Research Purpose(1)—Midterm • Compare travel behavior changes before and after the opening of Goldline.(From 2000 to 2010) • Finding: • After the opening of GL, there was slight decrease of Auto-dependence and commuting timewithin station surrounding areas from 2000 to 2010.

  3. Research Purpose(2)—Final • Plan Bus Transit Routes connecting critical transit nodes in Goldlineand surrounding areas, comparing service efficiency of different routes. Goldline Transit Node Main Bus Stop Bus Rapid Route

  4. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes • Three Steps • Use Service Area Analysis to find important transit nodes along Goldline. • Use Hot Spot Analysis to calculate Transit Need Index nearby, and Geocoding main bus stops. • Use OD Cost Matrix and Closest Facility Analysis to plan Bus Rapid Routes, comparing service efficiency in Buffer area along routes.

  5. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes

  6. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes Population in 15 minutes walking distance from Goldline station (1)Union Station:136,138 (2)Highland Park:51,319(3)lake:72,710

  7. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes • Four Factors Influence Transit Need • Population Density • Household Income • % of Under 18 and Above 65 Years • % of No Car Family.

  9. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes • Hot Spot Analysis (Map Algebra) • Population Density(Person/Sq miles) • (1)<10000=1, (2)10000~15000=2, (3)15000~20000=3, 20000~30000=4, (4)>30000=5 • Household Income • (1)<30000=4, (2)30000~50000=3, (3)50000~100000=2, (4)>100000=1 • % of Under 18 and above 65 Years • <15=1, (2)15~25=2, (3)25~40=3, (4)>40=4 • % of No Car Family • <5=1, (2)5~15=2, (3)>15=3 • Transit Need Index=Population Density + Household Income + % of Under 18 and Above 65 Years + % of No Car Family

  13. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes • Geocoding

  14. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes • Metadata Definition for the Original Data

  15. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes

  16. Step1:Find Nodes Step2:Calculate Transit Need Index Step3:Compare Bus Routes

  17. Conclusion • After the opening of GL, there was slight decrease of Auto-dependence and commuting time within station surrounding areas from 2000 to 2010. • Three Goldline Nodes and Five Transit Need Areas need to be connected by Mass Transit, the most important is from West of LA Downtown to Union Station.
