| Abstract: | There is a need for a detailed study to understand the
effects of a major modification work on an existing rail transit system.
Newly manufactured rolling stocks require more motive power compared to
old versions used in existing lines. This situation poses a problem
for the operating company: will the existing power supply system be
sufficient for these new rolling stocks? If not, what improvements
could be done to overcome this problem.
In this paper, a case study for upgrading rolling stocks, which was carried out in Istanbul Street Tramway system in Spring 2004, will be presented. |
