ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Great photos (as usual) Canard!

I came across a section of the project agreement this weekend that I had not read before. It deals with performance measures GrandLinq has to submit to the region that affects how much they get paid.

For example, for a train to be considered to have departed on time it has to leave between 15sec earlier or 60sec late of the scheduled departure time, and for a train to be considered arriving to arrive it has to arrive within 60sec early and no more than 180sec late of the scheduled arrival time (train trip cancelled is also earns 0 points - just wouldn't fit in the screen capture).
       

It also says that after the simulated service work during testing, "Project Co shall provide an augmented Baseline Service Plan which includes the arrival times for each LRT Stop along the Route." and that the, "Plan will include a general layover time of 4 minutes and not less than 3 minutes,"

There are all kinds of detailed calculations for various metrics (KPIs) with complicated names like:
Monthly Operations Performance Factor (MOPF) 
Scheduled Service Performance Factor (SSPF)
Completed LRT Trips Performance Factor (CLTPF) 
Daily Scheduled Service Performance Factor (DSSPF)
Monthly Maintenance Performance Factor (MMPF)
Fleet Functionality Performance Factor (FFPF)
Maintenance and Inspection Performance Factor (MIPF) 

And complicated formulas like:
   


The document I referenced in the winter walking thread also defines, among other things, non-compliant track geometry and spells out the fines for non-compliance for track geometry ($20,000 per non-compliance event).
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
