COMPUTER PROGRAMS REDUCE TRANSIT PLANNING

A new library of computer programs for transit system analysis, design and evaluation can take years of transit planning. TRANS-ADE, developed by BRH Mobility Service Co., Houston, is composed of six programs. They include passenger flow analysis, vehicle-train performance analysis, vehicle-train operations simulation, operating and maintenance cost analysis, and cost flow analysis. BRH can take data gathered by other agencies about a proposed system or can generate its own input for clients. The programs can simulate a system in conception and go on through planning, design, engineering, and actual operation and management, accurate for over 30 years, according to BRH.
