Abstract

Abstract : The lock Performance Monitoring System (PMS) encompasses the collection, editing, maintenance and analysis of data collected at all Corps-owned and operated locks. The data have been collected since March of 1975 and consist of information describing the traffic through the locks as well as the physical aspects of lockages. The quarterly summary of selected statistics presented in the appendix provides an overview of the traffic and operation at each lock. The quarterly report is presented in a table for each Corps District. Information reported for each lock and chamber includes a table providing, by direction and total, all vessels, barges, lockages and tonnages for the previous quarter, current quarter, and year-to-date. The table also provides information on the number of delayed tows, the average, total and maximum delay time, and average stall time for previous quarter, current quarter and year-to-date.
