| Summary: | <p style="font: 13.33px/20px Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; text-align: left; color: #515151; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; widows: 1; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; background-color: #eceaeb; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">In the world and in our country, most of urban transportation is performed by public transportation. Public transportation is a system which provides transportation easiness and opportunity to people, not to vehicles. Therefore, giving priority to public transportation system is necessary in organizing urban transportation. In this study, in order to reduce traffic intensity and to facilitate passenger transportation in Izmit urban transportation, It is tried to determine appropriate public transportation system. For this, firstly, alternatives which could be used for public transportation were determined. These alternatives are metro, metrobus, tram, light rail system and monorail. Afterwards, the variables affecting decision making about public transportation were determined. These variables are cost, transportation line features, vehicle characteristics, sensitivity to environment and customer satisfaction. Lastly, most appropriate public transportation system is proposed by using the axiomatic design method. As a result, light trail system and metrobus are determined as the most appropriate alternatives for Izmit public transportation system.</p><strong style="text-align: left; color: #515151; text-transform: none; line-height: 20px; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; widows: 1; background-color: #eceaeb; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">Keywords:</strong><span style="font: 13.33px/20px Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; text-align: left; color: #515151; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; widows: 1; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; background-color: #eceaeb; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"> Urban transportation, Multi criteria decision making, Axiomatic design</span> |
