CONSTRAINTS APPLICABLE TO COMPONENTS FOR SUBWAY ROLLING STOCK

LES CONTRAINTES APPLICABLES AUX COMPOSANTS DANS LE MATERIEL ROULANT DU METRO

Railway rolling stock has to carry a considerable number of persons with maximum safety. At the RATP any trainset rendered inoperative impacts adversely on the entire system. Components have to be designed for great reliability, easy maintainability and a high degree of safety during the lifetime of the vehicles. They have also to meet the climatic and mechanical conditions required of the equipment. To obtain satisfactory quality of service at reasonable cost, the RATP has drawn up special qualifications, developed specific products, established quality levels, installed product testing procedures and a system for following up failures, and refined its maintenance policy.
