This chapter evaluates a few aspects of existing automated transit applications. In the United States, all transit properties that are recipients of Urbanized Area Formula Grants from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are required to submit their operation, administration, and safety and security statistics to National Transit Database (NTD). Another close examination of the operation statistics for automated transit applications provides a baseline to understand the exposure, scope, and history of automated transit operations. A few studies found that reliability is highly valued by passengers as unreliability may result in unpredictable wait times, missed connections, and penalties associated with unproductive out‐of‐vehicle travel times (OVTT), such as waiting and walking. Crash exposure is defined according to the objective of analyses and modes of transportation under study. Cost‐effectiveness analysis (CEA) is a technique that relates the costs of a program to its key outcomes or benefit.
