• Abstract:
  Fourteen measures of performance are recommended for use in Northeast Corridor rail system evaluation and multimodal comparisons. These include performance measures in the categories of system configuration (e.g., daily available-seat miles by vehicle and segment), system performance (e.g., load factor by vehicle and segment) and system economics (e.g., cost per revenue-passenger mile by vehicle and segment). Although current data reported by certificated air carriers and participating passenger railroads are not entirely consistent, sufficient data exist to permit effective intra- and inter-modal evaluation and comparison. Certain disaggregation or allocation algorithms are recommended in some cases, however, to obtain travel segment data at the suggested aggregation level and frequency.
