Common use of Average Person Delay Clause in Contracts

Average Person Delay. ‌ On the basis of the simulation model described in Chapter 7, we calculated average person delay from the simulation results. Delays for passengers in both transit vehicles and general purpose vehicles were included in the calculation. Table 8-5 shows calculated average delays per person at the test intersections for both the TSP on and TSP off conditions. As we can see in Table 8-5, the average person delay was reduced by the SS- RTSP system. Over all four intersections, the TSP system saved an average of 0.1 second for all passengers. Although the 0.1-second time saving seems marginal for each person, the overall benefit of more than 48 person-hours over a three-hour period (peak hours) is significant. This indicates a total peak-hour time saving of 96 person-hours (here we assume six peak hours per day) or 25,056 person-hours per year. This benefit was achieved with only 18 bus runs over the three-hour period. During the same time period, 5000 regular vehicles were generated. Given that the sample size for passenger cars was much higher than that for transit vehicles, the average person delay decreased by the SS- RTSP system was remarkable.
