Cold Weather Transit Technology Program. Volume 8: Development of Transitway Countermeasures for Combatting Ice and Snow Problems

摘要

The objective of the transitway countermeasures task was to develop and evaluate energy efficient, practical methods of combatting the effects of snow and ice on vehicle operation. Transitway investigations in this program included: traction improvements, power and signal collection improvements, guideway switch improvements, and guideway design. The full-scale AGT vehicle component and subsystem testing was satisfactorily completed.
