CLASSIFICATION OF MASS TRANSIT RAIL STATIONS BASED ON URBAN FEATURES
Designing metro stations is one of the research topics for engineers, with the increasing need for large-scale TOD. This paper describes a classification of metro stations based on feature designs by descriptive-analytical method that are divided into six major types based on urban and architectural features. The types differ in alignment level toward the ground, platform geometrical type, urban scale, and performance, adjacent and internal communication. The models for the Railway Metro Station Design and Planning (RMSDP) have been proposed in this paper. Knowing the type of station can be one of the effective solutions to the challenges in urban designing, the architecture of the station, and alignment between context capabilities and station coordination. These categories will significantly help designers to consider the regional, technical, and functional characteristics of each type of metro station to optimize design, increase efficiency and coordinate with the context.
