Abstract

This article discussed a method of the transport network parameterisation. Transport networks are typically parameterised by infrastructure administrators and competent organisations or by entities having an impact on the transport policy making and financing of transport infrastructure. Sometimes, transport networks are parameterised by public transport administrators. This process usually consists in defining certain synthetic measures for the given transport network area depending on the manner in which it has been delimited. In practical terms, in any case, such parameterisation is not directly linked with statistical transport network users and their individual needs. This article presents an approach towards parameterisation of transport networks from the perspective of their users. Describing the network in such a manner may contribute to the transport system’s sustainable development. In order to achieve this goal, it is proposed that one should use trip planners (GT Planner) and other tools featuring a bidirectional information transfer channel.
