| Abstract | The study (a part of UMTA's Automatic Guideway Transit Technology program) is aimed at developing a set of measures for "service availability" which will be meaningful, readily understandable, and acceptable to transit operators, suppliers, and interested Government agencies. Service availability is defined in a generic sense as a measure of the impingement of equipment failures on the operation of a transit system as perceived by the users and operators. The first task of the study was an in-depth review of existing literature dealing directly or indirectly with the generic subject of service availability. The purpose of this document is to report the results of this task. In this task, over 100 papers, textbooks, and symposium proceedings were reviewed. The Appendix is a bibliography of material reviewed. |
