Abstract:The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of the Connection Protection (CP) system implemented by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). The objective of the CP system is to improve the reliability of transfers from the higher frequency light rail trains TRAX, to the lower frequency bus services. The CP system examines the on-time status of TRAX trains and issues a Hold message to buses waiting at the connecting rail stations via the buses onboard Mobile Data Terminal (MDT), if the lateness of train is within a pre- determined threshold relative to the scheduled departure time of the bus. The system was completed and tested in January 2002 prior to the Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. The purpose of this Test Plan document is to expand on the Evaluation Plan and provide detailed evaluation test procedures, including data collection and analysis plans needed to carry out the evaluation approaches presented in the Evaluation Plan. The Evaluation Plan serves as a general resource for the evaluation objectives, hypotheses, and a high-level study approach for the evaluation.
