• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the results of the comprehensive program that has been pursued to delineate all aspects of conductive interference (Cl) in rail transit systems, and to help avoid Cl effects in new rail systems. The report documents the efforts to achieve an understanding of the nature and characteristics of Cl required to remedy specific situations. As a result of this program, rail transit Cl due to car propulsion systems and rectifier substations interfering with track signaling is well understood, predictable, and measurable. The techniques of data gathering, measurement, and analysis developed in this program and presented in this report should serve as a basis for mitigating the effects of Cl in future rail transit systems.
