Logical Architecture Framework of Air-Rail Intermodality System
Wangji Liu, Jun Ou-yang · 2015
In China, research and development of air-rail intermodality transportation has not been fleshed out. This paper aims to provide a theoretical support for the development of air-rail intermodality. Firstly, the concept of air-rail intermodality system is put forward. Without regard to management system and technical factors, but from a logical point of system function, we describe the internal structure of the system using hierarchical data flow diagram (DFD) and process oriented method for the first time. Based on the function of air-rail intermodality system, the top-level logical architecture framework is built, which is composed of seven subsystems. They are defined and explained respectively. At last, the two main service modules- integrated ticketing system and through baggage handling system are described in detail.
