Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7246628
Technical methodology, data samples, and results of tests conducted on the SOAC on the Rail Transit Test Track at the High Speed Ground Test Center in Pueblo, Colorado during the period April to July 1973 are presented. The test program development comprises three sub-areas: vehicle testing; ways and structures testing; and track geometry measurement. The objective of the SOAC program is to demonstrate the current state-of-the-art in rail rapid transit vehicle technology, with passenger convenience and operating efficiency as primary goals. In this series, Vol. I contains a description of the SOAC test program and vehicle, and a summary of the test results; Vol. II, performance test data; Vol. III, ride quality test data; Vol. IV, noise test data; Vol. V, structural, voltage, and radio frequency interference test data; and Vol. VI, a description of the instrumentation system used for performance, ride quality, and structural testing.
