I am researching the importance of the network effect on light rail systems
in integrated transport networks. An important part of this is to define
what is meant by the term network effect. I also want to measure the
importance of each type of integration on creating a network effect.
Network effects are the effects on a transportation system due only to the
system being an integrated network. This is often considered to be an
inexact but desirable effect of integrated networks. The purpose of this
survey is to find out what others believe the network effect to be and the
important factors in achieving it.
Also I would like to find out the opinions of others of what makes a
successful light rail system both in terms of integration and otherwise.
If you are working or studying in related ares could you please complete
this short survey. It will only take about 10 minutes to complete.
Regards,
Steve
