Melbourne built environment and transit use empirical dataset

The Ridership Performance tool for Greater Melbourne has been updated and is included in this repository, along with accompanying data and explanations to run the tool. Other files in this repository are supplementary to the ridership performance tool. <br><br>Please note: changes have bene made to this database since publication of Aston, L., Currie, G., Kamruzzaman, M., Delbosc, A., Fournier, N., &amp; Teller, D. (2020). Addressing transit mode location bias in built environment-transit mode use research. Journal of Transport Geography, 87(July 2020). https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2020.102786 The current version (3) should be used for all future planning and forecasting. <br>Please refer to version 2 of this dataset if you would like to test the assumptions and findings of the study mentioned above.<br><b>Description</b>The main database file presented here (BETU.Melbourne.Database.v3_20201006) contains indicators of the station-are built environment and sociodemographic characteristics at Melbourne's train, tram and bus stops.<br>The database is practice-ready, constituting a valuable input to understanding built environment impacts on transit ridership.<br>Supporting files contained in this dataset include:- Stop-level data, mapped to 'facilities' (groups of nearby stops)- Polygon-level data<br>- Data protocol describing the inputs to the database<br>

大墨尔本地区客流绩效工具已完成更新，本仓库同步收录该工具、配套运行数据与说明文档。本仓库内其余文件均为该客流绩效工具的补充配套内容。<br><br>请注意：自Aston L.、Currie G.、Kamruzzaman M.、Delbosc A.、Fournier N.及Teller D.（2020）的研究成果发表以来，本数据库已完成更新。该研究论文题为《应对建成环境-公交出行方式研究中的交通方式选址偏倚》，刊载于《交通地理学杂志（Journal of Transport Geography）》2020年第87卷（2020年7月刊），DOI链接为https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2020.102786。所有后续规划与预测工作均应使用当前版本（版本3）。若需复现上述研究的假设与研究结论，请使用本数据集的版本2。<br><b>数据集说明</b><br>本次提供的主数据库文件为BETU.Melbourne.Database.v3_20201006，其中包含墨尔本火车、有轨电车与公交站点的站点区域建成环境与社会人口统计学特征指标。该数据库具备实操可用性，可为探究建成环境对公交客流的影响提供极具价值的分析输入依据。本数据集附带的支持文件包括：<br>- 映射至“设施”（周边站点群组）的站点级数据<br>- 多边形层级数据<br>- 阐述数据库输入项的数据协议文档。
