수도권 도시철도 환승율 및 실수송수요 분석

Although the transferring is one of the most important factors in urban railways, there is very little analytic research in the transfer-related field. This paper analyses the transfer rate of urban railways in the Seoul Metropolitan Area and the actual passenger boardings and alightings at transfer stations using the AFC(Automatic Fare Collector) O/D data collected doling Sep. 2000. According to the results of this study the transfer rate is 0.657, which is calculated from the transfer hoardings/initial boardings. And the actual ridership of Subway Line 2 and Line 5 are different from the data which was provided by the AFC.
