Title: Modeling Transit Vehicle Repair Duration and Active Service Time
Accession Number: 01154836
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The need for dependable and flexible models of transit vehicle maintenance has been well established in the literature as a means for improving daily operations, capital planning and service quality. Stemming from the practical need to predict both the duration of maintenance activities as well active service time for buses, this paper uses the principles of duration modeling to address two important questions: what is the duration of vehicle maintenance activities and, given that a bus is in active service, how long will it last? The authors extend previous work by including exogenous factors directly affecting maintenance duration and active service time in fully parametric duration models and examine such activities for the Athens, Greece, transit system. Results indicate that vehicle age, kilometers traveled and repair type are amongst the most important determinants of maintenance duration.
