Charting the Path from Complexity to Simplicity in Urban Rail Transit Sustainability Assessment:The ESE Evaluation Framework and Methodology
The current evaluation system for the sustainable development of urban rail transit often employs a simple hierarchical weighted summation method.However,this method does not account for the interactions among indicators at the same level or the multiple effects of lower-level indicators on upper-level indicators,thus failing to reflect the actual sustainable development status systematically,comprehensively,and accurately.To address this issue,this study introduces a new evaluation approach—the ESE(Economic-Social-Environmental)evaluation theory and method.This approach builds on the new understanding that data impacts the three dimensions of economy,society,and environment.An ESE spatial Cartesian coordinate system is constructed to represent all operational scenarios of urban rail transit.Within this three-dimensional ESE space,the sustainable development status of urban rail transit is classified into"eight types and four categories,"allowing for the quantification of sustainability levels and enabling a three-dimensional visual representation.
