Abstract:To address the challenges of difficult indicator quantification and misalignment with engineering decision-making needs in the application of existing interchange scheme evaluation systems in urban core areas, the core contradictions in interchange design in urban core areas are systematically analyzed. Based on a “demand-constraint-function” synergy mechanism, a comprehensive evaluation system including 16 indicators across four dimensions of function, implementation, economy and environment is reconstructed. And an optimization evaluation model of “rigid constraint screening + two-stage AHP-TOPSIS” adapted to the engineering decision-making logic is proposed. An interchange project in an urban core area is used as a case study for empirical validation. Results show that the system can effectively quantify the comprehensive performance of interchange schemes under strong constraints, which solves the problems of strong subjectivity and disconnection between indicators and reality in the existing evaluation methods, providing a reliable quantitative tool for the scientific decision-making of interchange schemes in the urban core area.
