| Summary: | and two benefit categories (travel time and externality been envisioned by some as reserved space for future rail benefits). This fullcost model was adopted to conditions on case study example is not cost-effective. It was components. Also recommended was further consideration of concluded that conversion to rail guideway transit in the conditions must utilize guideway transit for conversion to be contained two cost categories (capital and operating costs) conversions. cost model components to allow more certain estimates of cost cost-effective. It was also found that the model is costs (administrative, planning, and design costs) and the determine the cost effectiveness of converting an HOV lane effectiveness of converting a freeway median HOV lane into a guideway transit line. A full-cost model was developed to guideway transit. This thesis examines the cost- into a rail transit line. The measure of cost-effectiveness Many freeways in the United States contain median high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities. These facilities have operating cost of the rail transit system. The model is also person-miles of travel on the Katy Freeway under given reconunended that further investigation be taken into full- sensitive to assumptions of the value of time, project soft sensitive to assumptions regarding latent demand. It was study for this thesis. It was found that 29 percent of the the effects of latent demand on HOV to rail guideway transit the Katy Freeway in Houston Texas which served as a case used was the benefit-to-cost ratio.
