Locating central transit hub in Metro Manila Alireza K. Moghayedi. 2013. xii, 170 leaves col. ill., maps. Thesis (M.S. Civil Engineering)--University of the Philippines, Diliman. Available to the general public. Capturing various aspects of concerns in the transit hub location planning process, this study presents a model that ranks potential locations to plan for a central transit hub. Two Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods were applied to locate central transit hub in Metro Manila. The MCDM methods used: SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), determines the weights for multiple evaluation criteria and synthesized to the final score of each potential location comparison. Five potential locations in the north gate and seven potential locations in the south gate of Metro manila were ranked according to performance criteria. Application of the two methods on the potential locations produced the same results indicating that using the same method for the same problem to determine the importance of the different criteria, produce the same results. The study contributes a significant method as a decision-making tool providing preliminary judgment for eventual practical use. Local transit. Urban transportation.
