Abstract:

A prototype system for the preliminary design of transportation interface facilities is described. The design system exploits computer-aided design techniques including a microscopic computer simulation model and interactive capabilities to create an environment that enhances the transportation pedestrian facility design process. A summary of developments in transportation interface facility design, computer-aided design techniques, and user interface concepts is presented, followed by a discussion of a prototype facilities design system. Potential applications of the system are discussed, and promising areas of future development are outlined.
