The article deals with the planning concept of transport interchange hubs providing trans-regional bus transportation. According to the ever growing passenger traffic and the number of spatial planning documents, trans-regional bus route networks develop very rapidly in Russia. The findings of the poll of passengers demonstrate their high loyalty to trans-regional bus transportation networks due to their convenient arrangement and little time expenditures (compared to other means of transport). However, little attention is driven by specialized domestic sources to the planning concepts of transport interchange hubs having bus terminals within their structure; the regulatory documentation is missing. One of feasible ways to resolve the issue is to study the international practice of design and construction of transport interchange hubs having bus terminals as the key points providing trans-regional bus transportation.In this article, the transport interchange hub of Matsumoto, Japan, serves as the sample. The author considers its composition and functional site division. The author also performs a detailed analysis of the main elements of the hub, including the design of its pedestrian routes ensuring its functional and spatial unity. Moreover, the author considers the planning structure of a bus terminal and arrangement of retail trade facilities and service areas inside it.

The article discusses a quality assessment method for transport decisions made in transport interchange hubs. Analysis of domestic regulatory documentation and international experience on this subject is performed. It is stated that the domestic regulatory documentation lacks such method of assessment. Special attention is paid to study of pedestrian flows in interchange complexes of intermodal transport interchange hubs. The aim of the study is development of the Level of Service comprehensive assessment criterion by analogy with the international practice. The authors propose to use the queueing theory with elements of the theory of graphs, techniques and regularities that underlie the Level of Service (service factor applied in planning and location of TIH in the USA) as well as data from field surveys carried out by the pedestrian flows video detection method. During the field surveys it is planned to perform analysis of external and internal factors influencing the formation and composition of a pedestrian flow, to determine quantitative values of the main parameters of pedestrian flow (density, speed, intensity) and regularities of their variation depending on the design features of pedestrian traffic environment. Determination of passenger service quality factors in TIH will help to develop an integral criterion based on the Level of Service, taking into account the specifics of TIH functioning in Russia as well as a methodology that allows a reasonable choice of combinations of structural elements and planning parameters of pedestrian traffic objects which will let to reduce construction costs and operating costs for location of interchange complexes.
