Title: PASSENGER TERMINAL IMPEDANCES
Accession Number: 00241433
Record Type: Component
Abstract: CONVENTIONAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK ANALYSIS REQUIRES THE ESTIMATION OF THE TIMES NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THREE PORTIONS OF A TYPICAL INTERCITY TRIP. ALTHOUGH THE TIMES ASSOCIATED WITH THE LINE-HAUL AND ACCESS PORTIONS HAVE BEEN STUDIED EXTENSIVELY, THE TIME REQUIRED FOR TRANSFER BETWEEN ACCESS AND LINE-HAUL MODES HAS NOT BEEN HANDLED ADEQUATELY. THESE TIMES, OR IMPEDANCES, OCCUR AT ANY INTERCITY PASSENGER TERMINAL FOR AIR, RAIL, AND BUS MODES. THIS PAPER IDENTIFIES EACH OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE PASSENGER TERMINAL SYSTEM AND DEVELOPS THE RESPECTIVE IMPEDANCE METHODOLOGY FOR EACH AS WELL AS A TECHNIQUE FOR COMBINING THEM INTO A SINGLE VALUE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TOTAL IMPEDANCE LEVEL FOR A PARTICULAR TERMINAL. DATA WERE COLLECTED AT SEVERAL INTERCITY TERMINALS IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C., AREA; AND THE IMPEDANCE LEVELS WERE DETERMINED FOR EACH TERMINAL. THE METHODOLOGY AND MANY OF THE COMPONENT VALUES ARE DIRECTLY TRANSFERABLE TO OTHER TERMINALS. IN ADDITION, THE METHODOLOGY MAY BE USED AS AN AID IN EVALUATING ALTERNATIVE FUNCTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS OF THE VARIOUS TERMINAL FACILITIES. /AUTHOR/
