SYSTEMS OPERATION STUDIES FOR AUTOMATED GUIDEWAY TRANSIT SYSTEMS. AVAILABILITY MODEL FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION

The System Availability Model (SAM) is a system-level model which provides measures of vehicle and passenger availability. The SAM will be used to evaluate the system-level influence of availability concepts employed in AGT systems. This functional specification identifies the functions performed, the types of hardware required, and the modeling techniques employed by the SAM. This model is sufficiently flexible to aid transportation system planners in AGT system selection.
