ACCUMULATIVE PROBABILITY MODEL FOR AUTOMATED NETWORK TRAFFIC ANALYSES

THE REPORT PRESENTS AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE ACCUMULATIVE PROBABILITY MODEL WHICH IS APPLICABLE TO GROUND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS WHERE HIGH-SPEED AND CLOSE HEADWAYS ARE A PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT. THE PAPER DESCRIBES THE MODEL, ILLUSTRATES IT WITH A HYPOTHETICAL PROBLEM, AND THEN APPLIES IT TO A NETWORK ROUTE THAT WAS ACTUALLY CONFIGURED IN A DUAL MODE SYSTEM STUDY. THE PAPER ALSO DESCRIBED AND GIVES A LISTING OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM CALLED DUAL WHICH IS USED TO ILLUSTRATE THE MODEL AND SIMULATE VARIOUS ROUTE STRUCTURES. /AUTHOR/
