Abstract
The different transport stakeholders with diverse demands have different needs for transport infrastructures and services in an urban transportation system. To meet the objectives of sustainable transportation implies the trade-off consideration of benefits among different stakeholders and creates the issues of transport diversity. However, few researches have focused on these issues. The aim of this study was to provide a framework to evaluate the transport diversity in the Taipei Metropolitan Area. The transport diversity is defined as the satisfied level among the needs of stakeholders in this study and measured as the gap between the goal and present values of stakeholders' needs in the form of Shnnon-Weaver Index. The result revealed that the higher diversity means the more equitably stakeholders' needs satisfied. It is hoped that the findings of spatiotemporal analysis would help transport planners to understand what infrastructures or services at where have to be improved.
