Measures of Effectiveness for Multimodal Urban Traffic Management. Volume 2. Development and Evaluation of TSM (Transportation Systems Management) Strategies

摘要

This three-phase study has developed measures of effectiveness (MOE'S) for Transportation Systems Management (TSM) strategies. In Phase I, hierarchical schemes of TSM strategies and tactics and comprehensive goals and objectives were developed. MOE'S were then identified which could measure the degree of attainment of each related objective through the implementation of a given tactic. Data sources, field measurement procedures and modelling techniques were then identified for measuring or estimating each MOE. In Phase II four case studies were conducted to test and illustrate the methodology and to demonstrate the effectiveness of a variety of TSM strategies. In Phase III sampling and data collection procedures for some of the most commonly used MOE'S were developed. Also, manual and computer modeling procedures for modal split and network analysis were studied and recommendations on their applicability to TSM analyses were developed. This volume has been written as a stand-alone guide for practicing engineers and planners who are engaged in the development and evaluation of urban area TSM plans. The guide provides a consistent framework for TSM strategy development, recommends measures of effectiveness for TSM strategy evaluation and identifies and demonstrates manual and computer techniques for TSM analysis.
