Download or read book Performance Measures Data Acquisition and Performance Evaluation Under the National Transportation System written by Ned Codd and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation System (NTS), an outgrowth of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), is proposed in this research as an analytical tool to guide national transportation policy making. The NTS must be based upon measures of transportation performance that are intermodal, user oriented, and suitable for tracking the environmental, social, and economic outcomes of transportation system use. A set of such performance measures is proposed, and implications of the measures for various modes are discussed. This proposal and discussion of performance measures is the critical component of this report. A major concern in the implementation of these performance measures is the data that supports them. A great deal of data is required to track the performance of the basic components of NTS analysis: major transportation facilities and regional transportation systems. Appropriate data sources for the NTS performance measures are identified, a sample of demonstration data is applied to the performance measures, and problems with data acquisition and application are discussed. A general framework for using the performance measures to achieve the NTS policy objective is proposed, and the implications of geographic information systems (GIS) and other technologies are discussed. Conclusions and recommendations from this research are presented.

Download or read book Planning and Managing Intermodal Transportation Systems written by Russell B. Capelle and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook is designed to be a hands-on, planner-friendly document that answers hard questions about intermodal management system planning in practice. The guidebook is written from the perspective of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' development of its statewide intermodal management system (IMS) work plan, which includes coordination with all the state's MPOs. The following subjects of interest to IMS planners are discussed in this book: ISTEA in perspective; work plan structure and content; IMS technical team and coordinating committee organization and composition; explanatory materials to provide the IMS technical team and coordinating committee; organization and implementation of a Freight Advisory Council to foster involvement of the private sector companies and organizations; and, emphasis on "issue-based data" to structure IMS data needs and narrow the data search.

Download or read book Performance Measures and a Framework for Decison making Under the National Transportation System written by Ned Codd and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) requires the development of a National Intermodal Transportation System, commonly referred to as the National Transportation System (NTS). The primary goals of the NTS are to monitor the nation's transportation network, in all modes and for freight as well as passengers, and to support national transportation planning and policy that maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the network. To these ends, the NTS must assess the transportation network based on its performance, regardless of mode. The NTS must have as its basis a set of measures applicable to different modes that reflects the varied goals of ISTEA in the areas of mobility, environmental, social, and economic performance. This report proposes performance measures for the NTS, as well as a decision-making framework for using them. Further, it provides background on the environment in which these performance measures will be used by examining the ISTEA legislation, the NTS initiative, and potential data sources for supporting these performance measures.
