... B-1 This appendix expands on the framework discussion in Chapter 3 of this document and pre­ sents the equations and assumptions required for calculating EJT. As discussed in Chapter 3, EJT is calculated as follows: 2EJT f t ki i i i i= Σ + Σ σ where • ti is the average travel time for segment i, which may include waiting, in­station conveyance or IVT.
