The Station capacity assessment guidance was used as part of the review of the Reading Station (NODES demonstration site) design and in particular the new 30-metre-wide bridge deck across the station platforms. Using this tool enabled the design team to ensure the design of Reading Station was fit for purpose in terms of current and future predicted growth of users. If this had not been considered fully then it could have resulted in the station potentially not functioning properly.
Madrid Transport Interchange Plan (Madrid TIP) summarises the whole experience that Madrid Transport Consortium has in relation to transport interchanges. Provides information and support on the following; fire protection; furniture; accessibility; bus bays; mobility simulators; central control area; traffic control; customer service; safety plan.
The documents referenced will assist the relevant experts / professionals that form part of the design team with guidance to help influence various aspects of interchange design.
The swept path analysis software will require a small investment and training for the right professionals. Other references provide links to guidance that can be reviewed by the appropriate experts / professionals to help influence their decisions during the design process.
