Performance Measures to Support Maintenance Decisions for Shared Auto, Bike, and Pedestrian Facilities in the Context of the Life Cycle of a Socio-Technical System
Publication: International Conference on Transportation and Development 2022
ABSTRACT
Planning and designing shared auto, transit, bike, and pedestrian facilities, such as complete streets, has received a lot of attention. However, little attention has been paid to how to plan for and schedule the maintenance of these facilities over their life cycles. By looking at the life cycle of these facilities in the context of a socio-technical systems, issues are highlighted recognizing the physical, functional, intentional, and normative relationships between actors and technical elements, and the variety of users. Performance measures are identified to capture the performance of the system during the maintenance and operation phase of the life cycle. These performance measures can then be used to support decision making either through target setting or optimization. The application of these performance measures is demonstrated using a case study based on the business district of Newark, Delaware. The research shows the value of using comprehensive and consistent performance measures to make maintenance decisions for shared use facilities.
