Application of improved AHP in the evaluation of urban-rural conjunctive passenger transportation influencing factors

Based on the principle of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the characteristics of urban-rural conjunctive passenger transportation system, a improved AHP model is established in this paper selecting evaluating indexes from the angles of meeting the passengers transportation needs and the sustainable development of passenger transport. The new index scale is cited to construct the judgment matrix in this model, which not only makes the analysis of weight to be more reliable but also avoids the cumbersome calculation of the consistency test and the adjustment of judgment matrix repeatedly. Then single-level sequencing and hierarchy general ranking are carried on, obtaining importance sorting of influencing factors of passenger transportation. The results show that the improved AHP is a new, scientific and simple method for the sequence of important influence factors in urban-rural conjunctive passenger transportation system.
