SYSTAN'S MACRO-ANALYTIC REGIONWIDE TRANSPORTATION MODE: USER'S GUIDE

Systan's Macro-Analytic Regionwide Transportation (SMART) model is a sketch planning tool for evaluating public transportation alternatives for metropolitan areas. The model and its documentation were developed as part of the Paratransit Integration Program sponsored by the Office of Bus and Paratransit Technology and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration and by the Office of Technology and Planning Assistance of the Office of the Secretary of Transportation. The Paratransit Integration Program is concerned with the development and application of macro-analytic techniques for policy and preliminary planning at the local level. This User's Guide focuses on the preparation and formatting of data for use in the model. Examples are presented, and error messages are explained. The document builds on material in the Applications Manual and is required to run the SMART computer program.
