scope:
This guide defines the general design parameters of OCS design for dc transit systems. The guidelines that follow are intended for new systems and for the expansion of systems where a legacy of design standards does not exist. This guide is not intended to replace or supersede existing design standards but to formalize the design process.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to develop the performance requirements and design guidelines for dc OCS. The guidelines within should be used to address potential safety hazards, improve the performance and reliability of the system, and reduce service life-cycle costs. These guidelines consider safety, system reliability, modes of operation, type of vehicle to be used, and maintenance factors.
