Bus Fleet Management Techniques Guide. Final Report.

PB86120060

Publication Date	1985
Personal Author	Maze, T. H.; Cook, A. R.; Dutta, U.
Page Count	340
Abstract	The purpose of the Bus Fleet Management Techniques Guide is to provide transit maintenance managers with methods that they can use to derive information for maintenance planning and fleet management. The Guide covers three basic areas: (1) statistical analysis of component and part failure mileages for use in maintenance planning, (2) life cycle economic analysis for component and bus replacement and procurement decision-making, and (3) non-technical methodologies for the planning of maintenance management information systems. The Guide contains easy-to-follow examples derived from actual transit system maintenance records. All techniques can be done using inexpensive scientific calculators. A set of 19 work sheets is provided to facilitate the computations. Some chapters have study questions to further explain the methodologies.
