• Abstract:
  The purpose of the specification documented in this report is to define the performance requirements of the standard vehicle--a forty foot transit coach--intended to revitalize urban bus fleets over the near-term future. The specification defines the function the vehicles are designed to perform, sets out performance requirements, defines the interface with the operating property, the passengers, and the community, as well as the fulfillment of legal requirements. Requirements for vehicle speed, noise, exhaust emissions, reliability, and other measures of engine performance are defined, leaving choice of engine to the vehicle supplier. The bus is intended to be used for city-suburban express service and with optional features, for general service on urban arterial streets.
