| Abstract | This report is an addendum to a report (No. DOT-VNTSC-RR393-PM-93-1) prepared in April 1993 describing the operations witnessed and the relevant information obtained by nine members of the FRA/Volpe Center High Speed Guided Ground Transportation Safety Task Force during 9 weeks of observation of maglev developmental certification testing at the TVE Transrapid Test Facility at Emsland, Germany. Those observations were part of an extensive review of the German safety certification process being applied to the Transrapid (TR) system for application in Germany. Additional certification testing was performed during the spring of 1993. Three members of the Task Force visited the TVE Test Facility to witness operations and testing. This addendum describes the operations witnessed and the relevant information obtained during each of the three visits: April 5 to 7, April 27 to 30, and June 2 to 4. |
