Abstract

Public transport network organization should allow efficient and comfortable transfers in interchanges, but these infrastructures are often associated with high pedestrian flows and constraints on pedestrian movement, which discourages their use. The analysis methods for the performance of public transport interchanges are usually based on aggregate values, which may result in highly optimistic results. However, the development of microsimulation tools provides a generous amount of data, allowing the development of new ways of measuring these infrastructures’ performance. Based on the idea that using average values should lead to optimistic results, and using data from the Colégio Militar/Luz subway station (in Lisbon), new indicators related to the level of service using microsimulation tools are suggested, proving that there can be different conclusions about the interchange’s performance.
