Abstract
The purpose of this project is to apply a mathematical model and optimization techniqu,e to the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA).A survey of recent urban tranaportation models was completed and the model demand most specific and applicable was chosen.A computer technique of sensitivity analysis was used in order to complete the model . A comparison of the analytical results with the current bus system was made. The results obtained in this project provide a framework in which CARTA may plan for more efficient operations.
Degree
M. S.; A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science.
