RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY ASSESSMENT CRITERIA, DATA INPUTS AND ANALYSIS METHODS FOR MASS TRANSIT SYSTEMS

The availability and reliability of a mass transit system is analyzed and assessed, and a fairly complete list of criteria for judging these characteristics of a mass transit system is presented. A discussion is also included of the analysis and data reduction methods involved and an interpretation is given of the resulting numerics noting the particular aspect of reliability or availability addressed by each within the context of previously determined management goals.
