| Abstract | This report identifies those car maintenance research needs that (in the judgement of the participating rail transit operators and suppliers) would produce results that would be applicable industry wide. Those research products should assist the operators to realize maximum benefits from each car maintenance budget dollar. The objectives of this rapid transit industry car maintenance assessment were to: define the major research an development needs of the rail transit operators. Identify those research candidates for which an industry consensus exits, and develop an industry ranking of consensus candidates. Specific research needs were categorized in six major areas: (1) data management/analysis, (2) maintenance practices, procedures and standards, (3) human resources, (4) physical resources, (5) car system design, and (6) policy. Specific proposed projects are described in the report. |
