Abstract:

Exploratory research was performed to identify factors that acted as barriers to the adoption of urban rail transit technologies. Vehicle programs analyzed include the Advanced Concept Train (ACT-1), the Advanced Subsystems Development Program (ASDP), the State-Of-The-Art Car (SOAC), the Stored Energy Propulsion for Rapid Rail Cars (Flywheel ESU), the Morgantown People Mover, Dual-Powered Gas Turbine/Electric (GT/E) Commuter Rail Cars, and Standard Light Rail Vehicles (SLRV's). Factors which appeared to impede the adoption of rail transit technologies were grouped into five barrier categories: 1) performance/reliability barriers; 2) transportation authority financial barriers; 3) the cost of capital investment barrier; 4) the mismatch between buyer needs and new products developed; and 5) inadequate demonstrations of innovations. The extent to which the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) has addressed these barriers is also discussed.
