Cambio de hábitos y transformaciones territoriales en los corredores de alta velocidad ferroviariaResultados de una encuesta de viajeros en la línea Madrid-Barcelona

Résumé

The High-Speed Train is experiencing a considerable growth in Spain. This implies a territorial transformation, result of a modification of the travelers� behavior due to an improvement of the interurban railway transportation. In this context, an element that has not received the necessary attention is, namely, the access to the station as a basic part of the door-to-door travel. To face the lack of statistics on railway station access trips, a passenger survey on the high-speed railway line Madrid-Barcelona has been realized in order to respond to the question: How does the passenger get to the station? The knowledge of this aspect is needed to plan and realize improvement on intermodal actions adequately. The results show a dominance of the private car and a need to offer more attractive alternatives to access the stations. Further conclusions drawn, depict that central stations should be preferred, as they generate a more sustainable mobility.
