Abstract

In this article, we present a multimodal station project located in the north-eastern region of Algeria. A multimodal station project in the context of Chalghoum Laid was proposed by a team of researchers as part of an agreement between the two faculties of architecture and NTIC (2022). Using a mobile application that provides information to customers in real time and gives them data on bus routes, we set out to redefine a facility as complicated as a railway station into a public place with the vocation of an urban centre. Our aim was to create, through the project, a new centrality with built environments that are interactive (validation of journeys), safe and more comfortable to integrate walking as an active mode of transport. Based on a feasibility study of a multimodal station project with a special architecture offering a small footprint and creating user-friendly underground environments, in the context of the urban centre of the medium-sized town of Chalghoum Laid in Algeria, and thanks to an artistic simulation, we concluded that intelligent transport makes it possible to optimise the station infrastructure and its services. This is an effective way of managing traffic and multimodal mobility. It can also be used to eliminate ticket offices during periods of pandemics such as COVID 19. Its use can also improve road safety by reducing the use of vehicles and encouraging walking.
