A Model for Calculating Negative Externalities Experienced as a Result of Marginal Increases In Public Transit and Ridesharing Services on Arterial and Collector Road Segments
Abstract:Increased transit service is widely regarded as an effective solution to traffic congestion, particularly because transit vehicles have larger capacity. Surface transit, however, operates in a different service paradigm, and may preclude the use of space by passenger cars or impose delay on traffic.By adapting existing delay and queuing models, a model was developed to quantify negative externalities imposed on the network for various conditions found or implied on Fisher Avenue in Ottawa and Taunton Road in O… Show more
