Abstract

A comparative overview of various methods of quantitative assessment of the transit systems dependability.
Integrated approach includes the following:
1) Formal definition of the Transit system mission as an obligation to a passenger to provide transportation service from one location to another within a specified timeframe;
2) Statistical study of the events of denied/degraded service (delays, missed runs, insufficient capacity) as the result of equipment failures.
A number of simulation studies are provided for illustration.
