Evaluation of bus maintenance procedures through system analysis : a case study. Paper presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board HRB, Washington, D.C., January 1974.

The purpose of this study was to apply different systems analysis techniques, especially the queering theory, to evaluate the bus maintenance problems of a large transit company. The maintenance facility of the Denver Metro Transit Company is analysed, in terms of storage capacity, service rates for the varying types of repairs, and the other pertinent data, to arrive at a statistical service distribution. The statistical distribution of bus arrival for maintenance and channel configurations of the repair shop are established.
