SLRV Engineering Tests at Department of Transportation, Transportation Test Center: Volume IV--Data Logs
No full textDOT-TSC-1062The SLRV (Standard Light Rail Vehicle) is a 71-foot vehicle, articulated to negotiate curves down to a 32-foot radius and designed to operate at speeds up to 50 mph. Although the basic configuration and performance is standardized, the current operating properties (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and San Francisco Municipal Railway) have specified individual requirements for auxiliary equipment and passenger accommodation. This report presents the results of the series of tests conducted. The general objective of the test program was to establish a baseline for the SLRV obtained in accordance with the General Vehicle Test Plans and to provide further experience in the use of the Test Plans in testing urban rail vehicles. The test program was divided into five categories: performance; power consumption; ride roughness; noise; and radio frequency interference

Proceedings - Conference on Navigation in Transportation
No full textA "Conference on Navigation in Transportation" was held at the Transportation Systems Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts on September 19-21, 1978. The underlying theme of the Conference was the current status and utility of civil navigation systems such as VOR/DME, LORAN-C, OMEGA, and GPS (Global Positioning system). Applications of these navigation systems to user groups with diverse requirements - air, marine, and landbsed - were addressed

ICS security in maritime transportation
No full textMA31A100 \ubf LME07The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center was asked by the Office of Security of the Maritime Administration to examine the issue of industrial control systems (ICS) security in the Maritime Transportation System (MTS), and to develop a white paper based upon its findings for circulation amongst MTS stakeholders. In evaluating the issue, this paper first discusses the role of the MTS as part of the domestic and international transportation system and global supply chain, and provides examples of the economic impact of past natural and manmade disruptions to the MTS. It next explores the uses and applications of ICS throughout the MTS, identifies potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities of ICS, and provides examples of possible ICS failures and the potential impact on the MTS. Finally, the paper explores the issue in the context of Federal policy governing critical infrastructure, cybersecurity and supply chain resilience, and makes a number of recommendations that government agencies and the private sector might consider in order to mitigate the ICS security risks
Advanced Public Transportation Systems: Evaluation Guidelines
No full textThe Federal Transit Administration has developed the Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) Program which is an integral part of the overall U.S. DOT Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) effort. A major aim of the APTS Program is to promote research and development of innovative applications of advanced navigation, information, and communication technologies. These technologies would be designed and tested to achieve APTS Program goals directed toward enhancing the ability of public transportation systems to satisfy customer needs and contributing to the achievement of broader community goals and local objectives. The APTS Program goals and objectives will be discussed further within the context of the evaluation frame of reference. The wide array of new technologies provides a unique opportunity to discover innovative and useful applications in public transportation. These operational tests and evaluations will be the principal activities of the APTS Program. Real world testing will be done in urban and rural areas using those technologies which appear to offer promise and represent useful applications. Major technologies include automated vehicle location systems, smart card systems, dynamic ridesharing systems, passenger information systems, high occupancy vehicle systems, and vehicle component monitoring systems
