A STRATEGY FOR URBAN MASS TRANSPORTATION ROUTE - TECHNOLOGY SECTION

The report develops a simulation technique to guide the selection of alternative urban transportation route and technology configurations. Emphasis is given to typical transportation planning processes, technical transportation design criteria, and operating management policy options. The model simulates interaction between demand for transportation and a supply function based upon available technology configurations and associated compatible route alignments. In this model, the transit travel demand is probabilistically assigned to links within a transit network utilizing a minimum time path criterion.
