Summary:This paper proposed a comprehensive evaluation (CE) framework concerning multivariate statistical analysis to provide a systematic assessment and a hierarchical analysis for the urban integrated transportation network (UITN). Specifically, this research contributed the following technical approaches: Firstly, 4 criteria (scale, structure, level of service (LOS), layout) was adopted and indexes were screened from heterogeneous aspects to establish the hierarchical model using correlation coefficient method (CCM). Built upon that, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method (FCEM) and linear dimensionless (LD) were applied to quantify and nondimensionalize the qualitative and quantitative indexes. In order to improve accuracy and guarantee rationality, this paper then integrated analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with entropy weight method (EWM) to get the index weight. At last, the combination of value analysis (VA) and grey relational analysis (GRA) was used to calculate the CE value. The experimental study shows that our introduced CE framework can offer a thorough evaluation of the UITN, the CE value of UITN in Haimen city is 0.740 and its grade level is "Medium". Pros and cons of the structural layout of each transport mode can also be judged through the hierarchical analysis of different indexes. In view of this, corresponding suggestions were given for future improved transportation planning.
