2 CHAPTER V Cocptual Trasit Srvic Optios Th purpos of this chaptr is to prst cocptual trasit srvic optios withi a to/from th Fort Carso Moutai Post. A cocptual srvic optio is a broa-bas optio with littl tail. It grally provis ough iformatio so that oc a optio is slct, a mor tail prfrr trasit pla ca b vlop. Capital rquirmts a maagmt optios ca th b vlop to support th pla srvics. Each srvic optio must b valuat usig Fort Carso s stablish goals a objctivs for maagig trasportatio. Ay optio which os ot support th missio of trasportatio a th corrspoig goals a objctivs shoul ot b cosir for implmtatio. Ths prlimiary cocptual trasit optios ar giv as a startig poit for iscussio a bat laig to slctio of a prfrr altrativ. Th various trasit optios will b prst to th Projct Tam to sk iput for th slctio of th prfrr srvic altrativ to furthr ivstigat. has rviw prvious plas a stuis rlat to trasit s i Fort Carso, rciv iput from th Fort Carso mploys/pts through a oli survy, work closly with th Projct Tam, a appli prov trasit plaig tchiqus to arriv at ths optios. From ths aalyss, svral basic improvmts a hacmts hav b itifi, which ar: Bas o th survy rsults, a fiv prct mo split woul b a cosrvativ mo split that woul us a car-lss trasit mobility systm; Local trasit srvic shoul oprat fiv ays pr wk, with pak srvic hours i th morig a i th vig, a; Rgioal trasit optios from/to Fort Carso to b hac. CONCEPTUAL TRANSIT OPTIONS All trasit optios woul iclu th us of a Automatic Vhicl Locatio (AVL) itgrat with a Itlligt Trasportatio Systm (ITS).

3 Cocptual Trasit Srvic Optios vhicl Global Positioig Satllit (GPS) rcivr. That iformatio coul b rlay to a commuicatio/ispatch ctr. Wh AVL is combi with a ITS tchology, a passgr ca th b iform about th tim it taks for th xt bus or th tim for th ri to arriv. Th AVL/ITS optio will hlp passgrs rciv ral-tim iformatio about th status of thir bus/ri. Th AVL systm ca b assss by passgrs via a oli GIS systm whr passgrs coul chck th status of thir buss bfor goig to th bus stop, chck th status of thir ri at a arby kiosk, or by sig a txt mssag. I aitio to th AVL/ITS optio, to mak trasit favorabl all trasit optio woul iclu quu jump las for buss alog major artrials o th Moutai Post. Quu jump las, i combiatio with bus sigal priority, allow buss to bypass traffic quus by gttig a arly gr sigal. Ths jump las ar short strtchs of bus las that ca b us as turig las or us to allow buss to mov straight at crtai traffic itrsctios. With this systm, buss i quu jump las rciv sigals to proc bfor othr traffic at th itrsctio. Th primary xpss for all trasit agcis across th Uit Stats ar rivr s salaris a bfits. To ruc th opratig cost spt o rivr s salaris, ths optios coul iclu Army prsol that volutr to riv th bus/va. With Fort Carso availability of labor, th Army coul mak it compulsory for Army prsol/solirs to riv a bus/va as part of thir rgular rsposibilitis. Solirs/Army prsol who volutr to riv woul gt a iscout for riig th srvic or gt fr ris o th systm. This woul gratly ruc th opratig cost of th trasit srvic o th Moutai Post. Optio 1: Dviat Fix Routs That Follow th Propos PRT Guiway This optio woul oprat buss/vas that follow th propos PRT guiway pla for Fort Carso. This optio coul act as a trasitioary optio util a PRT systm is put i plac. Moificatios will to b ma to th propos layout so that th bus/va routs follow xistig roas. Figur V-1 illustrats this rout optio. This figur shows two viat fix routs. This optio will hav a trasit systm map with stops isplay.

4 Cocptual Trasit Srvic Optios grs woul hav to puch th xact locatio that thy woul lik to go. It woul th isplay th approximat tim it woul tak for thir ri to arriv. Ths buss/vas travl coul travl at highr sps if thy oprat o high-occupacy vhicl (HOV) marcat las i th major corriors. Ths HOV las coul courag th us of high-occupacy mos of travl such as trasit, carpoolig, a vapoolig. A viat fix-rout systm is a iovativ a succssfully implmt typ of srvic i may low-sity aras across th coutry. Th raso this approach works wll i low-sity aras lik Fort Carso is that th srvic ca b sig arou major origi-stiatio poits, major corriors, a activity ctrs whil still big flxibl i atur. Th routs ar st up so thy hav a flxibl-rout structur, thus proviig th cosistt typ of fix srvic popl xpct as wll as big flxibl bcaus thy ar abl to viat off a structur rout to srv stiatios. This optio will combi may qualitis of Bus Rapi Trasit (BRT)/PRT with th flxibility a cost-ffctivss of buss/vas. O of th biggst avatags to this optio is it sigificatly lowrs th iitial ifrastructur costs compar to a PRT. This optio woul b flxibl ough that popl whos work schuls ar cosistt coul call aha to schul a ri. Th schuls vlop ach ay bas o th rsrvatios rciv will b usful to ursta popl s travl pattrs. Th iformatio will b us to moify th srvic routs or wh fituig th propos PRT srvic. A isavatag of this optio woul b slightly highr travl tim compar to a PRT systm. This srvic woul oprat from 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Moay through Friay. Cost for srvic is bas o Moutai Mtropolita s currt cost pr hour of srvic of $75.
