Abstract:

This paper presents an analysis of operating performance for Tri-Met, the transit provider for the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. The analysis draws on data recovered by Tri-Met's automated Bus Dispatching System (BDS) and focuses on two main subjects: (1) employing archived trip level running time data to assess schedule efficiency; and (2) using archived data to estimate a fixed effects model addressing operation-related variations in running time. The paper first provides a brief description of Tri-Met's BDS, then discusses the organization of planning, scheduling, operations and analysis functions in the new BDS environment. Subsequent sections present the analysis of schedule efficiency and operator variability. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings.
