As an application of the transit quality-of-service framework presented in the first edition of the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM), the Florida Department of Transportation required all metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in the state where fixed-route transit service operates to analyze those services on the basis of the six measures identified in the TCQSM: service frequency, hours of service, service coverage, passenger loading, reliability (on-time performance and headway adherence), and transit versus automobile travel time. A first-year evaluation compiles the analyses provided by the participating MPOs and provides an assessment of the aggregate performance of the transit systems. A larger part of the study focused on the examination of the actual process used by the MPOs and transit systems to evaluate their services. Changes recommended to improve and refine the process for future years are presented, based on the first-time experiences of the MPOs. This evaluation serves as a model for other areas in the country interested in applying the customer-oriented assessment of transit based on the TCQSM.

The 2000 release of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) provides for the first time a corridor analysis method that guides users in the application of various chapters of the HCM to the analysis of automobiles and transit in a corridor. Together with the recent publication of the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM), the HCM 2000 represents a significant advance in the direction of multimodal level-of-service (LOS) analysis. However, relatively little guidance is given in either the HCM or the TCQSM on the compilation of automobile and transit segment levels of service into a measure of corridor level of service. In addition, bicycles and pedestrians are ignored in the corridor methodology. A methodology was developed and tested in Florida for measuring and reporting the user-perceived quality of service for highway corridors from a multimodal perspective. Automobile and transit LOS analyses are based on the HCM 2000 and TCQSM, respectively. Bicycle and pedestrian levels of service are based on the bicycle and pedestrian LOS models, respectively. Four classes of corridors are recommended, and the methodology was tested on two classes of urban corridors, with and without a freeway. The methodology is applied in three steps: ( a) corridor definition, ( b) computation of modal level of service, and ( c) reporting of results. The methodology was applied to six case studies throughout Florida at generalized and conceptual planning levels. Conclusions about the methodology were drawn from the case studies; the main conclusion is that the methodology provided a reliable overall indicator of corridor level of service by mode.

An analytical model could potentially be used by paratransit service planners to predict fleet requirements, system capacity, and quality-of-service measures for specific operating conditions. The model has a sound theoretical origin and was calibrated using data from a large number of simulated cases representing a wide range of operating conditions and quality of service. This model was shown to have a strong explanatory power, capable of capturing the complex relationship between fleet size, travel demand, quality-of-service measures, and other operating condition variables. With this model, analytical procedures similar to those provided in the Highway Capacity Manual and the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual for other transportation facilities and services could be developed for paratransit systems.

Bus rapid transit (BRT) can offer transit mobility to meet growing travel demands by cost-effectively providing high capacity and quality of service. It is adaptable to a wide range of operating conditions and technological advancements. Stations are elements that typically control BRT line capacity, so it is essential to understand the operation of any potentially critical station to understand and manage the facility. The Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM) provides the standard methodology for capacity estimation. However, that model does not account for important operational aspects including the stochastic nature of many parameters beyond dwell time, along with nonstopping buses’ capacity, the degrees of saturation of the stopping and nonstopping bus streams, and the upstream average waiting time and queue length of stopping buses. We adapted the theory developed by Hisham et al. for an onstreet bus stop, to reflect the operational conditions of a BRT station and to account for these aspects. This new reliability-based capacity model tailored to BRT facilities provided superior insight into station bus capacity and quality of service to the TCQSM model.

This paper concerns transit quality of service and focuses on reliability. Starting from automated vehicle location (AVL) data collected in a case study, the advantages and limitations of the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM) method for level-of-service (LOS) estimation are discussed. In particular, this method is clear, simple, and easy to use, but sometimes it may lead to inconsistent LOS estimations for three reasons. First, it does not consider the amount of delay but considers only the number of trips that are late. Second, it does not adequately address the effect of early departures on users. Finally, it introduces a fixed tolerance (3 min in advance and 5 min late) around the schedule to consider the trip on time. A new service measure called weighted delay index is proposed; it allows these limitations to be overcome. In this paper, a methodology for its estimation is presented, and new LOS ranges and thresholds for reliability are proposed. Both the TCQSM method and the proposed one have been applied to four routes of the Trieste transit network in Italy. The basic data have been collected through the AVL system during the peak hours of a month. The results have been compared with reference to real data, and it appears that the proposed approach could lead to more graduated LOS estimation because of the higher number of parameters introduced in the new transit service measure.
