SINGLE-TRACK SUBWAY ENVIRONMENTAL SIMULATION MODEL. PHASE I

The report describes the Single-Track Subway Environment Simulation computer program which has been developed during the first year of the IRT project and includes sample preliminary input forms for the program as well as results from a test simulation of a sample subway system. This designer-oriented computer program will simulate multiple train operation and will provide continuous, peak, and average readings for the air velocity, temperature, and humidity throughout the stations, tunnels, and ventilation shafts of a single-track subway.
