“…Thus, to further our understanding of the interaction between N (transport services) and road traffic, a separate dimension was included, and a typology of train stations developed, based on three functions: N-P-BT. This is different from other interpretations and enrichments: Monajem and Ekram Nosratian (2015) [24] added spatial indices (closeness and betweenness) to both N-P for a study in Tehran; Irvin-Erickson and La Vigne (2015) [25] adapted N-P variables to assess criminogenic features of stations in Washington, DC; and Vale (2015) [26] as well as Vale et al (2018) [16] focused on pedestrian-oriented design as the 3rd dimension when comparing rail stations in Lisbon.…”

“…The set of variables used in this research expands on the original N-P model [10][11][12][13], including a new dimension, Background Traffic (BT). This research also considers an increased number of indicators for describing the functions of the station precincts: For example [13] applied six criteria, Peek et al (2006) [11] used 13 measures, Kamruzzaman et al (2013) [9] described TODs using 16 measures, Bertolini (1999) [10] applied 21 indicators across eight criteria, and Vale et al (2018) [16] adopts 18 indicators for application at a local scale. While we subscribe to the underlying idea that interactions and feedback relations exist between the N-P functions of a mass transport precinct (i.e., improving public transport in a station location creates favorable conditions for further urban intensification because of the higher accessibility, which leads to better places; in turn, the increased demand of activities in station precincts leads to growing demand for transport connections), in many cases, the time lag between land-use and transport projects creates tension between N-P.…”

“…Measuring the short-term benefits of TOD performance has mainly focused on increased patronage and active travel (AT), while reducing car use. A frequently applied framework for characterizing TODs draws on the Node-Place (N-P) model proposed by Bertolini (1999) [10] and enriched since through application in various contexts [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Place vs. Node Transit: Planning Policies Revisited

et al. 2019

A core contemporary planning approach is the promotion of transit-oriented developments (TODs) and in recent times cities have committed substantial financial investment to encourage sustainable precincts around public transport. Evaluation of the success of TODs is key for continuing the planning efforts. A frequently applied framework for characterizing TODs draws on Bertolini’s Node-Place (N-P) model, enriched through application in various contexts. We offer here an extension to the N-P model, using a case study in a low-density city, Perth, Western Australia. A typology of railway stations is developed using 43 indicators and then linear models are applied to ascertain the association between patronage and station precinct features. The results show that various types of measures are required to increase public transport ridership for the four clusters that emerged from the analysis. Density alone does not lead to increased use of public transport; it must be associated with city-wide accessibility, as well as access/egress to and from the station.

Bus Rapid Transit System: A Study of Sustainable Land-Use Transformation, Urban Density and Economic Impacts

2020

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has shown significant growth in recent years, particularly in developing countries because of its cost-effectiveness. However, empirical evidence on land-use and economic impacts of BRT is limited. This study measures the sustainable land-use transformation, urban density, and economic impact witnessed after the development of BRT. Spatial analysis shows that BRT has the potential to simulate land-use transformation, however, the extent of transformation is context-dependent. Population density has increased from 268 persons/acre to 299 persons/acre. Besides land-use transformations, inward investments and extension of the labor market were also evident in areas served by BRT. The amount almost equal to US $140 million of inward investment was detected after implementation of BRT, which ultimately brought around 800 new employees from remote areas. An efficient land-use policy, streamlining these land-use transformations, and inward investments, can benefit from developing compact and sustainable neighborhoods. This study will help in the performance evaluation of BRT systems in developing countries for sustainable development.

“…The cited authors, in fact, adopt radiuses of 700, 800 and 1200 m, considering different modes of access to stations. Vale et al (2018) elaborate an "extended" version of the node-place model, explicitly considering different access modes to stations. The authors also introduce, in addition to node and place indexes, the "design index", in order to investigate the factors that influence pedestrian accessibility of stations' catchment areas.…”

It is widely accepted that land use and public transport planning should be harmonised in order to provide a viable alternative to car transport. Following the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept, many studies and plans aim to concentrate urban development in areas accessible by high-quality public transport. Encouraged by studies asserting the positive relation between urban density and public transport use, scholars and practitioners focused their attention on tools and strategies that increase urban density, thereby overlooking geographical contexts where these strategies cannot be applied. TOD might however be also a valuable strategy in low-density contexts, like lower density parts of metropolitan areas, or suburban areas and small towns. It seems therefore relevant and interesting to develop a methodology to explore the value of TOD strategies in such contexts. Our paper fills this analytical and application gap and proposes to extend the conceptualization and implementation of land use and public transport integration to areas where low-density urban development has already occurred (e.g., low-density suburbs, or areas where the protection of natural and cultural heritage precedes urban development). In such cases, where is not possible to increase urban density around transport nodes, the quality of the transport network plays a decisive role. The approach builds on the Node-Place Model by including evaluations of the quality of feeder networks. We applied the methodology to a case study in the Campania Region in southern Italy, indicating a possible way to evaluate land use and public transport integration while considering, at the same time, the quality of transport as network. The application of the methodology allowed to highlight imbalances between accessibility-by main and feeder transport-and land use intensity, and to sketch urban development strategies and priorities of intervention on the transport network. 'node' and 'place' are seen as a key development dynamic and striking a balance between the two is a key policy objective.
