OPERATIONS ANALYSIS FOR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS DESIGN

THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECT BEGUN BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE RAISES A NUMBER OF ISSUES IN THE EVALUATION OF GROUND SYSTEMS FOR REGIONAL SERVICE. ONE SUCH ISSUE RECOGNIZES THE PROSPECT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE SYSTEM DESIGN AND LEADS TO THE QUESTION OF HOW BEST TO MATCH TRAVELER UTILITY AND SYSTEM COST WITHIN FEASIBLE DESIGN ALTERNATIVES. THE SPECTRUM OF OPERATING POLICIES AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON EFFECTIVENESS CRITERIA ARE INDICATED BY ILLUSTRATION OF AN EXPLICIT THOUGH LIMITED FIRST ORDER MODEL WITH EXTERNALLY FIXED UTILIZATION FUNCTIONS. COMPUTATIONAL RESULTS BASED ON THE MODEL ARE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED. /AUTHOR/
