Problem 1. A rapid-rail transit system has the following annual budget and operating statistics for a recent year: Track maintenance $986,538 Maintenance of Structure $1,068,750 $3,288,462 Maintenance of Vehicle Motormen $1,973,077 Conductors $1,479,807 Station Attendants $1,233,173 $2,137,500 Power Administration $2,630,769 Miscellaneous $2,466,347 Car-Miles 5,000,000 Car-Hours 200,000 Peak Period Vehicles 145 Annual Revenue Passengers 19,000,000 Calibrate a unit-cost model for this system. Problem 2. The operator of bus system plans to introduce a new route next year. The new route will entail an additional 550 bus-miles per day at an average operating speed of 18 mph. The route will serve 1520 new riders each day, with 5 buses in peak period operation. What will the cost of the new service be if the following unit costs are known for the bus system in question: Maintenance cost= $1.700 per bus-mile Fuel cost = $0.23 per bus-mile Cost of conducting transportation = $95.12 per bus-hour Administration cost = $25,352.46 per peak-period bus Miscellaneous costs = $0.35 per revenue passenger. Problem 3. A new bus service is planned in a small city. It is expected to have the following parameters: Annual Bus-Miles 1,500,000 20 MPH $43.50/hour Average Speed Average Driver Wage Bus Size System Employees 47 seats 150 Predict the annual operating cost of the new service using: 1. The regression relationship between operating cost and no. of total employees 2. The AASHTO method Problem 1.
