現今台灣鐵路之旅行者資訊系統的應用大多僅為提供紙本式路線表及時刻表的數位化延伸,轉乘資訊的提供也僅將時刻表作配對呈現,並未考慮到轉乘對旅行者是否有正面幫助,如此一來,旅行者僅能憑藉局部資訊及自身經驗進行決策,因而常常無法達到最佳之決策。 以往研究中對於轉乘方式的探討,大多站在營運者的角度,而且僅考慮順向轉乘路線[張則斌,2001],並且忽略多重車種之間的組合,低估了旅行者對於實際轉乘資訊的需求,因此在本研究中便以旅行者的觀點,透過轉乘路線以及多車種之間的組合,來減少總旅行時間。 本研究以旅行者輸入之檢索條件,包括出發站與到達站、出發時間或到達時間的限制等,建構出鐵路轉乘邏輯程序,程序中包含轉乘路線選擇之順向轉乘路線與逆向轉乘路線、起點端轉乘路線與迄點端轉乘路線,以及轉乘運具選擇之多車種組合,並加入轉乘時間以實際反應旅行者在轉乘行動中所消耗的時間。最後以鐵路轉乘邏輯為基礎,進行鐵路先進旅行者轉乘資訊服務的建置與開發,透過轉乘路線及轉乘運具之分析,組合出優質的旅行者轉乘資訊,提供旅行者進行旅次規劃及決策上的參考。
Currently, what TIS (Traveler Information Services) provides for Taiwan train travelers is nothing more than train routes, schedule information and information digitalization. Furthermore, current information systems disregard how transfer information may help travelers and provide static schedule information only. It has been found that the transferring models proposed in previous researches are either considering only the Forward Transfer pattern or ignoring combinations of transfers among different vehicle types, hence underestimate the actual demand of transfer information. To further benefit travelers by minimizing total traveling time, this research study proposes a railway transfer logic, considering both the Forward and Backward Transfer patterns, Departure and Arrival Terminal Transfers, transfer time and transfers among different vehicle types. Based on the current train routes and schedules from the Taiwan Railway Administration, the proposed logic is used to develop a prototype Advanced Traveler Information Services for railway transfer to further facilitate decision making on traveling plans and decisions.
