• Abstract:
  This document specifies the functional requirements for the AGT-SOS Feeder Systems Model (FSM), the type of hardware required, and the modeling techniques employed by the FSM. The objective of the FSM is to map the zone-to-zone transit patronage demand onto AGT station pairs and to generate feeder system performance data. The output of this model can be used in conjunction with AGT data in order to provide normalized comparisons between different AGT systems operating in the same demand environment with both conventional feeder service/AGT operation and dual mode feeder/AGT operation. Because of its generic nature, the model is recommended for representative AGT deployments' comparison only.
