Performance Measure

Variance of travel time. Variance is the sum of the squared deviations from the mean. This can also be calculated as the standard deviation of travel time. Standard deviation is the square root of variance.

Associated Objectives

Reduce the variability of travel time on specified routes by X percent during peak and off-peak periods by year Y.
