MEASURES OF EFFECTIVENESS FOR TSM SRATEGIES

This three-phase study has developed measures of effectiveness (MOE'S) for Transportation Systems Management (TSM) strategies. In Phase I, hierarchical schemes of TSM strategies and tactics and comprehensive goals and objectives were developed. MOE'S were then identified which could measure the degree of attainment of each related objective through the implementation of a given tactic. Data sources, field measurement procedures and modelling techniques were then identified for measuring or estimating each MOE. In Phase II four case studies were conducted to test and illustrate the methodology and to demonstrate the effectiveness of a variety of TSM strategies. In Phase III sampling and data collection procedures for some of the most commonly used MOE'S were developed. Also manual and computer modelling procedures for modal split and network analysis were studied and recommendations on their applicability to TSM analyses were developed. This report comprehensively documents the research results and describes the methodology employed in the study. In addition, a wealth of information is provided, both in the main body of the report and in the technical appendices, which will be of practical use in the development and evaluation of TSM strategies for urban areas.
