INITIAL DATA ACQUISITION FROM VEHICLES IN CONFINED SPACES (VICS-120) FACILITY, AND FINAL RESULTS FROM VICS-70

The report has been prepared under the Institute for Rapid Transit (IRT) project, 'Ventilation and Environmental Control in Subway Rapid Transit Systems,' and is one of many such reports leading to the final product -- a 'Subway Environmental Design Handbook.' The report completes the Phase I effort at JPL. It contains data obtained during the initial and pressurized shakedown operational periods of the VICS-120 Facility and a detailed description of the JPL Computer Program for Analytical Model I.
