Abstract:

The Westinghouse Downtown People Mover (DPM) Winterization Test Demonstration (WTD) Final Report covers the 1978-79 and 1979-80 winter periods. Tests were performed at the Westinghouse Transportation Division (WTD) test track located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The tests performed and covered in this document fall into 3 general categories: (1) system start-up at low temperatures; (2) system operational tests in snow; and (3) system operational tests with ice. The objective of the program was to demonstrate that fully automated and simple DPM systems can be a reliable urban transit alternative in severe cold climates.
