Utilisation Rate#

An assessment metric that measures the degree a vehicle is being productive, along a given route and timeframe. It measures the proportion of vehicle hours that are being used to operate revenue service.

The utilisation rate helps planners assess whether a route is being cost-effective and productive, and helps identify which services could use higher frequencies to minimise idling and layover time.

Metrics:

  • Percentage (%)

Utilisation Rate is calculated by \( \frac{Revenue Service Hours}{(Vehicles Required) x ({ref}`S:ServiceSpan`)} \)

where Service Span and Revenue Service Hours are converted to minutes.
