ACT-1: ADVANCED CONCEPT TRAIN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. SIMULATED DEMONSTRATION TEST REPORT

The Simulated Revenue Service Demonstration at the TTC consisted of two activities, namely: ACT-1 Operation and ACT-1 Maintenance. The simulated transit route was laid out on the UMTA Rail Transit Test Track at TTC--this route is a composite of routes in the originally planned demonstration cities. Every equipment malfunction that occurred was recorded for corrective action in the Vehicle Maintenance Log. The Maintenance Program used to support the ACT-1 cars during the Simulated Revenue Service Demonstration was based on the Maintenance Workbook Items accumulated during the initial test and adjustment running of the vehicles. The report concludes that the Simulated Revenue Service testing of the ACT-1 vehicle at the TTC demonstrated that the ACT-1 cars can be operated consistently with moderate maintenance support.
