Evaluation of Passenger Transfer Efficiency of an Urban Public Transportation Terminal

As the key nodes of passengers' transportation system, transfer efficiency of urban transportation terminal is very important. In order to solve the problems of applying traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models in the efficiency evaluation of urban transportation terminal, the two-stage DEA method (TDEA) is introduced in this paper. The index system and the DEA non-uniform evaluation model are established. Finally the case study of the transfer efficiency evaluation of ten transportation terminals in Beijing is given. We gain the efficiency order of the ten transportation terminals, and provide the information which may adjust the inefficient terminals to efficient ones.
