Delineating Catchment Areas of Selected KTM Komuter Stations in the Kuala Lumpur Conurbation Using a GIS-Based Approach
Delineating Catchment Areas of Selected KTM Komuter Stations in the Kuala Lumpur Conurbation Using a GIS-Based Approach
Page Range: 108 – 125
Park-and-ride schemes are an important component of the public transportation systems of many cities. An analysis delineating the catchment areas of rail-based park-and-ride stations is thus important in providing a better understanding of these schemes. Geographic information systems (GIS) technology is applied in order to delineate the catchment areas and calculate the access distances of the respective stations. The methodology includes carrying out a questionnaire interview at the park-and-ride sites via random sampling. With information on the origins of park-and-ride users and using MapInfo and ArcView GIS 3.2, the catchment areas of the respective stations were then delineated. The paper provides a detailed description of the methodology and the output in a GIS environment for the Kuala Lumpur conurbation. Les projets de parkings-relais sont une composante essentielle des systèmes de transport public dans de nombreuses villes. Une analyse délimitant les aires d'influence des gares ferroviaires disposant d'un parking-relais est donc un instrument important pour mieux saisir ces initiatives. Un Système d'Information Géographique (SIG) a été utilisé pour délimiter ces aires et pour calculer les distances d'accès aux différentes gares. La méthodologie consistait en une enquête avec questionnaire par sondage aléatoire dans des sites de parkingsrelais . En utilisant MapInfo et ArcView GIS 3.2 pour traiter les données sur les origines des utilisateurs des parkings-relais, les aires des différentes gares ont été délimitées. Cet article fournit une description détaillée de cette méthodologie et de ses résultats pour une région de la conurbation de Kuala Lumpur.
