Title: TRANSIT CAPACITY AND QUALITY OF SERVICE MANUAL
Accession Number: 00765986
Record Type: Monograph
Blurb URL: Abstract: This manual is intended to be a fundamental reference document for public transit practitioners and policy makers. The manual contains background, statistics, and graphics providing orientation to the various types of public transportation, and it introduces a new framework for measuring transit availability and quality of service from the passenger point of view. The manual contains quantitative techniques for calculating the capacity of bus and rail transit services, terminals, and platforms. Sample problems are included. This First Edition of the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM) is a start toward providing the transportation industry with a transit companion to the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Material in this document that is relevant to traffic engineers will be included in the "Highway Capacity Manual 2000" (to be issued on CD-ROM in the year 2000). The Transportation Research Board has established a Task Force on Transit Capacity and Quality of Service, A1E53, that will be responsible for the long term development and evolution of the manual.
Supplemental Notes: This manual is also available on CD-ROM CRP-CD-2.
