N. Buses per Peak Hour in 2040 = M / 40 (Passenger capacity per bus) [results
were rounded up to the nearest whole number]
O. Peak Hour Headway = 60 / N
Q. Average Total Time at Bay per Bus = One-minute dwell time + P
R. Bays Required by 2040 = ((Q + E) * N) / 60
40 passengers. While some routes
may use articulated buses, using
a 40-passenger-per-bus capacity
provides a more conservative
estimate. To estimate the number
of bays required, the same
methodology employed in Table
A-4 is used in Table A-7. The same
average recovery time from Table A-4
is assumed in Table A-7. However, in
practice several variables are factored
into how much time is allotted per
bus at a terminal stop (e.g. restroom
or meal breaks, scheduling needs,
etc.).
Table A-8 reveals the final
calculations of the analysis to
estimate the bus bay utilization in
2040. Calculations in Table A-8 are
similar to those in Table A-5. Table
A-8 proposes new bus bay route
assignments for seven bays (six
active bays and one drop-off bay)
as calculated in Table A-7. Bus bay
utilization in Table A-8 may be above
100 percent, but actual utilization at
these bays will likely be much lower
provided that drivers use designated
layover spaces.
