2. Performance is defined as the levels of success of the service with respect to
different parameters such as cost effectiveness, quality of service and safety.
Operational Efficiency of an organization is the ability to utilize its available
resources to the maximum extent (output / input).
Financial Efficiency is a measure of the organization’s ability to translate its
financial resources into revenue (mission related activities)
Non-parametric method is used when the researcher does not know anything
about the parameters chosen. Hence, this method is referred as parameter-free
or distribution-free method.
Multivariate analysis (MVA) involves observation and analysis of more than
one statistical outcome variable at a time.

3. Motivation for the study
Lot of investment is being made on transport sector for providing
better mobility for public through State Road Transport Units
(SRTUs) like, JNNURM, World bank etc.
However, all the state Governments are looking at these
corporations to perform better both providing excellent service
and make profits
Evaluation of these SRTUs are becoming mandatory. But, there
are very few performance evaluation techniques which can
quantify the performance of these SRTUs.
In this work we will look at more scientific analysis of the
performance of the SRTUs, considering physical and financial
parameters through non-parametric and multivariate techniques.
The number of passengers
carried per day has
increased 5.5 times when
compared to investments
with 151 times over period
of 5 decades.

13. Ratio and Benchmarking analysis
Ratio Analysis is an analytical tool that can be used to compare the
performance of one DMU with the other DMU of State Transport
Corporation.
The following ratios can be considered in this study.
5. Fuel Efficiency
6. Profitability (EPKM/CPKM)
7. Earnings per kilometer
8. Cost per kilometer
1. Fleet Utilization
2. Vehicle Utilization
3. Staff per schedule
4. Staff productivity
Benchmarking involves comparing properly computed ratios for
similar DMUs across the organization. The main objective of the
benchmarking is to compare the performance of the DMUs with
respect to the top performing entity in its peer group. The slack or
surplus that a DMU incurs in comparison to the top performing DMU
helps us in setting targets for improvement.

21. Data envelopment analysis
The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) developed by Charnes et al. [1978] .
The units that obtain a greater quantity of outputs with the lowest quantity of
inputs will be the most efficient and therefore will achieve the highest scores.
Where vi is the weight assigned to its corresponding input xi during the aggregation,
uj is the weight assigned to its corresponding output yj during the aggregation, and ui

Illustration Results
• DMU 1 and DMU 3 are efficient (efficiency of
1.00 with no slacks)
• DMU 2 is inefficient (efficiency < 1.00)
• DMU 2 can utilize DMU 1 and DMU 3 as
benchmarks for improvement
• See DEA
29. 29
Selection of Inputs, Outputs, and units in
DEA
• Inputs: resources (examples: workers, machines,
operating expenses, budget, etc.)
• Outputs: actual number of products produced to a
host of performance and activity measures
(examples: quality levels, throughput rates, lead-
time, etc.)
• If there are m inputs and s outputs then potentially
ms DMUs can be efficient. Thus, to achieve
discrimination we need substantially more units than
ms
30. Principal component analysis.
The purpose of PCA is to explain/summarize the underlying variance-covariance
structure of a large set of variables through a few linear combinations of these
variables called Principal components. Principal axis 1 has the highest variance,
axis 2 has the next highest variance,...., and axis p has the lowest variance. The
mathematical form of PCA is given by,
such that: yk's are uncorrelated (orthogonal);
y1 explains as much as possible of original
variance in data set; y2 explains as much as
possible of remaining variance etc.
{a11,a12,...,a1k} is 1st Eigenvector of
correlation/covariance matrix, and
coefficients of first principal component;
{a21,a22,...,a2k} is 2nd Eigenvector of
correlation/covariance matrix, and
coefficients of 2nd principal component;
…........
{ak1,ak2,...,akk} is kth Eigenvector of
correlation/covariance matrix, and
coefficients of pth principal component
From k original variables: x1, x2,...,xk
Produce p new variables: y1, y2, ...,yp
y1 = a11x1 + a12x2 + ... + a1kxk
y2 = a21x1 + a22x2 + ... + a2kxk
...
Yp = ak1x1 + ak2x2 + ... + akkxk

32. Description of PCA-DEA
Portela, et.al.,(2004) has used an approach based on the directional distance
model ( Portuguese bank) to deal with the negative data which is given by,
to find the efficiency of the decision making units (DMUs) by PCA-DEA and
the model is

(5)
(5)
Where, =is the inefficiency measure of DMU, therefore 1- is the efficiency measure.
33. Bootstrapped-DEA
When the number of DMUs are less compared to the input and output
parameters used (Joseph Sarkis), the efficiency obtained from the
DEA, will have an upward bias. In order to obtain the accurate
efficiency values we use the bootstrapping technique for the DEA
which will remove the upward bias.
The following algorithm is used to calculate bootstrapped DEA.
• Using efficiency scores of DEA a best fit curve is obtained to generate pseudo
efficiencies.
• Pseudo outputs are generated using above obtained pseudo efficiencies by keeping
the inputs constant.
• DEA is applied to these new data set(pseudo data) along with the original data set to
calculate the bootstrapped efficiency.
33
34. Input and output indicators for DEA
4 input parameters and 8 output parameters were selected to
determine efficiency of depots or divisions (DMUs). The input
parameter and output parameters include both the physical and
financial parameters of performance indicators.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
Founded by Saaty in 1980.
It is a popular and widely used method for
multi-criteria decision making.
Allows the use of qualitative, as well as
quantitative criteria in evaluation.
54. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
• Information is decomposed into a hierarchy of alternatives and criterion
• Information is then synthesized to determine relative ranking of alternatives
• Both qualitative and quantitative information can be compared using
informed judgments to derive weights and priorities
54
Mathematical Model
Sj = wi rij
j
where:
Sj = score for decision alternative j
Wi = weight of the criterion i
rij = rating for criterion i and decision alternative j
55. 55
AHP algorithm is basically composed of two
steps:
1. Determine the relative weights of the decision criteria
2. Determine the relative rankings (priorities) of
alternatives
Ranking of Criteria and Alternatives
Pairwise comparisons are made with the grades
ranging from 1-9.
A basic, but very reasonable assumption for
comparing alternatives:
If attribute A is absolutely more important than attribute B
and is rated at 9, then B must be absolutely less
important than A and is graded as 1/9.
58. 58
Ranking of priorities
Consider [Ax = maxx] where
A is the comparison matrix of size n×n, for n criteria, also called the priority matrix.
x is the Eigenvector of size n×1, also called the priority vector.
max is the Eigenvalue .
To find the ranking of priorities, namely the Eigen Vector X:
1) Normalize the column entries by dividing each entry by the sum of the column.
2) Take the overall row averages.

Checking for Consistency
The next stage is to calculate a Consistency Ratio
(CR) to measure how consistent the judgments have
been relative to large samples of purely random
judgments.
AHP evaluations are based on the aasumption that
the decision maker is rational, i.e., if A is preferred to
B and B is preferred to C, then A is preferred to C.
If the CR is greater than 0.1 the judgments are
untrustworthy because they are too close for comfort
to randomness and the exercise is valueless or must
be repeated.
61. 61
Calculation of Consistency Ratio
The next stage is to calculate max so as to lead to
the Consistency Index and the Consistency Ratio.
Consider [Ax = max x] where x is the Eigenvector.

Consistency index , CI is found by
CI=(λmax-n)/(n-1)=(3.06-3)/(3-1)= 0.03
62. 62
Consistency Ratio
The final step is to calculate the Consistency Ratio, CR by using
the table below, derived from Saaty’s book. The upper row is the
order of the random matrix, and the lower row is the
corresponding index of consistency for random judgments.
Each of the numbers in this table is the average of CI’s derived from a
sample of randomly selected reciprocal matrices of AHP method.
An inconsistency of 10% or less implies that the adjustment is small as
compared to the actual values of the eigenvector entries.
A CR as high as, say, 90% would mean that the pairwise judgments are just
about random and are completely untrustworthy! In this case, comparisons
should be repeated.
In the above example: CR=CI/0.58=0.03/0.58=0.05
0.05<0.1, so the evaluations are consistent!
65. 1. The efficiency values of the DMUs (depots) using DEA-CRS model are having the
range of 0.482 to1.00 and DEA-VRS values are having the range of 0.879 to 1.00
2. From division wise performance analysis it is concluded that DEA-CRS values are
having the range of 0.75 to1.00 and DEA-VRS values are having the range of
0.965 to 1.00.
3. PCA-DEA model has shown the discrimination between the efficient and
inefficient DMU’s which was not observed in DEA.
4. Bootstrapped-DEA has shown good results among all DEA models.
5. According to AHP Depot-4 of Bangalore central division is top performing the
reason is it is a Volvo (Air conditioned) bus depot, also Bangalore central division
is top performing division as per AHP results AHP has given the similar results as
that of DEA.
6. AHP results built the confidence on DEA results.

• The questionnaire were prepared in consultation with experts from both Transport
Organization and Institute, in the view of socio-economic characteristic, travel
characteristics, perception of existing public transport system and Intelligent
Transport System.
70. User and Operator perception study
User perception data
• Travel Cost – transit fares, plus related costs like parking
• Door-to-door travel time
• Frequency of service – how often the service runs
• Hours of service – how early or late service runs, and/or weekend hours
• Convenience of service – goes where you need to go/parking availability
• On time performance of service – does the service run on time?
• Behaviour of crew
Operator perception data
• Passenger behaviour
• Leave and incentives
• Road condition
• Break down rate
• Retarding room facility
From this data the analysis has been done.

77. Summary
The major findings from the SRTUs qualitative study are: from the commuter survey
it is very clear that they prefer the SRTUs mainly because they are cheap and safe,
commuter also feel that attention towards reliability is required and around 50% of
commuters are not happy with behaviour of crew.
According to qualitative and quantitative studies KSRTC is performing better
compared to NWKRTC and NEKRTC.
From crew survey it is observed that, breakdown rate of buses is high, vehicle
maintenance is poor, rest room facility is also poor, the official staff behaviour has to
be improved and retarding facility needs attention
official staffs are of opinion that, public complaints are more, support from higher
officials has to be improved, maintenance of vehicle require more skilled labour and
fuel efficiency has to be improved by providing training to drivers

100. DEAD KILOMETER
• The bus has to travel from depot to route starting point in order to operate route
as depot and route starting point are not at same place. The distance travelled
by bus from depot to route starting point for operation of route and again from
route ending point to depot after completion of routes where no passengers
travels is known as “dead kilometer”.
• Non-revenue kilometers or dead kilometers depends upon distance between
depot and route starting point/ending point.
• The dead kilometers not only results in revenue loss, but also results in increase
in operating cost due to extra kilometers covered by buses.
• BMTC routes are considered for dead kilometer minimization problem.
100
102. Literature Review on Dead Kilometer minimization problem
1 To optimize dead mileage they considered, two constraints, i.e., capacity of
garages and the number of buses required at the starting points of routes. Also
considered starting and end points of routes as same
Vijay Sharma and
Satya Prakash(1986)
2 They considered construction of new depots to reduce dead kilometers
comparing operation cost due to dead kilometers
Kumar et al.
(1989)
3 They considered types of buses based on road condition for allocating buses
to depots. Also starting and endpoints of routes as same. Dead kilometers
minimization problem solved using mixed integer linear programming
method.
C. B. Djiba et al.
(2012)
102
C.B Djiba literature Modifications details
Buses can be parked and maintained at any
depot
Bus is parked and maintained in same
depot.
Routes starting and end points are same Route starting point and end points are
different.
Routes operated in one shift Routes are operated in different shifts(day
out shift, general shift, night out shift and
night service).
103. 103
The following assumptions were made while formulating dead kilometers
problem:
Each depot has a capacity.
Buses are fixed to the depots.
Each schedule is allotted to single depot.
Route starting and ending points are different.
Many schedules can be operated in a single route.

109. • According to ratio analysis and benchmarking, maximum savings that can be
saved were observed for the year 2013-14 and it was 1204 million Rs for
Volvo division when all the divisions of BMTC are analyzed, however when
only volvo depots are analyzed the expected savings dropped down from 1204
million Rs to 387 million Rs.
• Again Bootstrapped-DEA shows good results
• AHP results show that East division has good performance compare to other
divisions.
• In BMTC dead kilometers of depots varies from 0.85% to 3.66% (average
2.44%)
• Overall the reduction in dead kilometers after optimization for the depots of
Volvo division is 1192 kilometers
• As cost required to operate one kilometers is Rs. 62/- for A/C buses, the total
saving in operating cost is Rs. 73904 per day due reduction of 1192 Kms in
dead kilometers after optimization.
• Analysis of percentage of dead kilometers of depots helps in allocating new
routes and choosing proper location for new depots minimizing dead
kilometers
