Benchmarking Intelligent Transportation Systems Performance of Urban Public Transportation Operations

Abstract

Urban transportation problems have been increasing in developing and developed countries around the world and traditional planning approaches have started to be obsolete in regards to come forward with the solutions to these problems. Planning paradigm shifted from infrastructure development and expansion to look for innovative, sustainable and urban life focused solutions. With this paradigm shift, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have emerged as a growing and developing phenomenon in means of reaching sustainable urban mobility goals. Many ITS technologies have been integrated with public transportation systems in urban areas which are used for purposes such as monitoring, data collection and informing. Although implementation of the technologies into the urban transportation systems are beneficial for the quality of urban transportation, monitoring and evaluation is essential for ensuring the continuous improvement of these systems and their positive impacts. With this purpose a benchmarking framework is developed in this study, subjecting transit agencies to comparative analyses amongst its peers. 7 transit agencies from metropolitan areas of the United States have been chosen for the study, to be benchmarked in the base of 24 performance indicators in 5 performance categories. A performance index is calculated using these indicator values and several sensitivity analyses are carried out to determine the strengths and weaknesses of transit agencies compared to each other. It is aimed by the study to provide a benchmarking tool for ITS performance assessment.
