Abstract
This paper presents two mathematical models representing on-surface transportation systems. The supplementary variables method is used to develop the system availability expressions. Two general formulae are developed for the transit system availability when the repair time distribution is described by the Erlangian distribution. The plots show the effect of vehicle failure rate, degradation rate, towing rate and repair rate on transit-system availability.
