Abstract:

This Light Rail Transit Car Specification Guide is not a procurement document in itself. It is intended to be used as a guide by light rail transit operators and purchasers of such equipment in the preparation of technical specifications. Because of differing site-specific needs, this Specification Guide has been organized to provide ample freedom of choice among a wide range of options. Thus both an operator whose needs dictate a sophisticated vehicle and the operator whose requirements can be met by a very simple vehicle, can use this document as a guide in drafting their individual specifications. This Car Specification Guide has evolved from the original U.S. Standard Light Rail Vehicle (SLRV) Specification developed in 1972, and incorporates a number of revisions reflecting: (1) changes which may reduce vehicle purchase costs and complexity; (2) provisions for a number of purchaser selected options; (3) a wider specification so that a new vehicle design is not required and permits designs of vehicles which are already in passenger service; and (4) clarification of requirements so that compliance with the specification can be measured or proven to be met.
