Transport Terminals and Modal Interchanges: Planning and Design is the first book to explore the burgeoning trend of multi-modal interchanges in transport systems. This groundbreaking text delves into how various modes of transport are being interconnected through ‘joined-up thinking,’ enabling transportation authorities and designers to fully exploit interchange opportunities.
Using the airport as the central example, the book illustrates the evolution of multi-modal passenger terminals and highlights the transformative experience they offer for modern travel. The book emphasizes that the success of these interchanges depends on several factors, including overcoming congestion, addressing contingency planning, and ensuring a smooth transition between transport modes. Drawing from international examples where demand on design is highest, it also covers the challenges of rebuilding and redevelopment efforts that aim to connect previously separate transport modes.
This work stands as a comprehensive compendium of architectural and engineering achievements in the field, providing valuable insights into the future of transport terminals and modal interchanges.
