Overview
Objectives:
The objective of the project is a development of pre-standards in accordance with SN 641000. Principles and definitions, as well as eight elements of transport facilities.
Methodology:
In the method for determining the performance of the transport quality and capacity, three approaches can be distinguished:
• Offer-oriented methods:
At a given transport supply is - taking into account the carrying capacities - the manageable traffic volume determined.
• Demand-oriented methods:
For a given traffic volume is - taking into account the carrying capacities - the transport supply needed determined.
• Performance analysis:
If both supply and demand are given, the traffic quality is the performance analysis determines and assesses the capacity.
