The TOD development model that builds urban vitality centers around rail stations has gradually emerged in Mainland China. However, in view of improving the top-level design, lack of a comprehensive operational evaluation system is an important issue. By reviewing the positive exploration and recent practices on TOD performance evaluation at home and abroad, with an emphasis on primary features of rail transit in the new era, the paper makes efforts to develop a Rail Transit TOD Performance Assessment System with stronger operability and relatively more dynamic, from planning level, implementation level and service level. Furthermore, the paper surveys the current TOD development level of the areas along Line 1, Line 2 and Line 4 in Hangzhou, and provides a summary on its current situation and features with further development suggestions.
