Abstract:

The primary focus of this study was to emphasize transit system energy characteristics by examining the vehicle characteristics, right-of-way charactertistics and the operational aspects of the services. The objectives

of this study were to become familiar with types of energy expended by local

transit systems, understand the characteristics and side effects of the energy

types, become familiar with vehicle and right-of-way charcteristics, analyze the

operational aspects to the systems, and develop an energy consumption model to

determine the variance in energy consumption. The project has several phases

which, to some extent, may be performed concurrently including planning,

instrument development and calibration, and data base development. The project

also includes the creation of energy consumption models that can be used to

predict the energy needs and consumption levels of transit systems. Independent

variables were identified from other studies on energy consumption/conservation

and selected urban transportation agencies were surveyed.
