Abstract: The transfer system has an extremely important influence on the operation management and economic benefits of the whole rail network. The paper selects evaluation indexes based on the analysis of transfer system time value influencing factors, excludes part of the indexes by using importance analysis and correlation analysis, and constructs the evaluation index system of rail transit transfer system using the STATA 16 software. Using a combination of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and CRITIC method, the evaluation indexes were comprehensively assigned. The time value evaluation model was established based on the matter-element extension evaluation model. Finally, Wuhan rail transit transfer stations Dazhi Road Station and Xunlimen Station are selected as examples for empirical analysis, and improvement measures are proposed. Unlike previous studies, this study introduces time value as a core indicator and uses a matter-element extension evaluation model for evaluation. Empirical analyses show that the proposed evaluation index system based on time value can better reflect the passenger experience as well as the efficiency of the transfer system. The selected matter-element extension evaluation model can better deal with the uncertainty between indicators and solve the multi-objective contradiction problem. The evaluation results of the model are consistent with the actual research results of the transfer station, and the evaluation model has better applicability.
