Comparing the Performance of Urban Transit Bus Routes after Adjusting for the Environment, Using Data Envelopment Analysis GCP-08-05
Urban transit managers strive to attain multiple goals with tightly constrained resources. Ratio analysis has evolved into a powerful tool for dealing with these goals and constraints. Ratio analysis provides analytical methods for comparing the performance of multiple agencies, as well as the performance of subunits within a particular agency, in order to identify opportunities for improvement.
DEA Efficiency Analysis Involving Multiple Production Processes with an Application to Urban Mass Transit GCP-08-02
This paper addresses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) efficiency analysis in organizations with multiple production processes.
Estimating Data Envelopment Analysis Frontiers for Nonsubstitutable Inputs and Outputs: The Case of Urban Mass Transit GCP-08-03
In this paper, we demonstrate that conventional DEA models report invalid efficiency scores when outputs and/or inputs are nonsubstitutable.
Estimating DEA Confidence Intervals for Canadian Urban Paratransit Agencies Using Panel Data Analysis GCP-08-01
This paper illustrates three concepts new to the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) literature, and applies them to data from Canadian urban paratransit agencies.
Comparing the Efficiency of Urban Transit Park & Ride Lots Using Data Envelopment Analysis GCP-07-09
This paper discusses the need for a performance measure that compares the efficiencies of subunits within an urban transportation organization, reflects the diversity of inputs and outputs, and is objective and consistent.
