Abstract:The Transportation Technology Center (TTC) is a Federally owned, privately operated test facility in Colorado. It has over 50
miles of test track arranged in different configurations for testing all aspects of vehicle-track interaction. Maximum test speed is
165 mph (265 km/h). Overhead and 3rd rail electrification is available.
Eighteen large buildings house offices, test fixtures, workshops and maintenance facilities. Outside facilities include the Security
and Emergency Response Training Center, a crash wall, a rail vehicle squeeze test frame, and a fully functioning Positive Train
Control test bed.
Investment in TTC since its construction in the 1970s has ensured most of the assets are in good working order. Some long-life
assets are at the end of their useful lives and are due to be replaced.
