| Abstract | This document summarizes the software maintenance activities performed to support the Subway Environment Simulation (SES) Computer Program. The SES computer program is a design-oriented analytic tool developed during a recent five-year research project focusing on methods for environmental control in underground rapid transit systems. As discussed in The Subway Environmental Design Handbook, computer simulation was used to overcome the deficiencies of closed-form mathematical modeling, and was validated using scale models and field-testing. The Handbook was developed as a guide and reference for the planning, design, construction, and operation of environmental control systems for underground rapid transit. Shortly after the publication of the Handbook, SES was released to the rail transit community for the purpose of reducing the environmental problems of existing systems, and to help plan facilities and establish standard procedures for improved environmental control in new systems. This report is published in order to aid users of the program in realizing these goals. |
