The Establishment of Evaluation Indicators for Sustainable Intercity Transportation in the economic efficiency aspect / 城際運輸永續發展經濟效率面評估指標之建立

碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 交通運輸研究所 / 90 / With the trend of sustainable development, sustainability is discussed in many fields, and extending that in transportation forms the concept of sustainable transportation. The current issues of sustainable transportation often discussed are about environmental conservation. However, economic efficiency is also an important issue, about which many people concern. Besides long haul, the features of intercity transportation include strong mode dependence and influences of comprehensive territory planning; thus, it is worth focusing on sustainability of intercity transportation. The purpose of this study is to establish and integrate the related evaluation indicators based on the discussion of meanings of sustainable intercity transportation in the economic efficiency aspect.
The indicators in this study were explored from four dimensions: transportation energy, transportation operation, transportation investment and environmental externality, and generated by the ”input-ouput-outcome-envirometal sustainability” structure. The weights of indicators were investigated by AHP method, and the indicators were integrated by “Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method”. The sensitivity analysis was made by adjustment of membership functions.
The case study annually evaluates the sustainability of public highway transportation and railway transportation in Taiwan Island in the economic efficiency aspect from 1987 to 1996. The results indicate that in public highway transportation, the passenger transportation effectiveness, freight transportation effectiveness and environment externality are steadily worse, and the integrated result shows a unsustainable trend. In railway transportation, although the investment efficiency and energy efficiency are getting worse, the integrated result shows a sustainable trend.
