The BRTS Evaluation and Design (BEAD) Tool has been developed to provide Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) planners and designers with the means to predict the performance of a designed/planned system and compare the same against alternate options. Unlike existing, commercially available modelling software which focuses on BRTS vehicle performance such as bus operational speed in the corridor, as a part of the road system, BEAD generates average performance values for passenger centric parameters such as passenger speeds and door to door travel times. This allows more appropriate performance evaluation of systems based on its benefits in terms of attracting use and effecting long term modal shift in favour of public transport.
