INNOVATIVE SCHEDULING FOR THE BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM. ABRIDGMENT
This paper explains the scheduling constraints imposed by both the computer automated block system (CABS) logic and the track geometry of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system in the Oakland area, which is called WYE because the track configuration is like a Y. The alternative schedules that were developed within these constraints to ameliorate the excess passenger demand on on the Concord-Daly City route are also presented.
