Mass Transit Drive Trains

With the ever increasing need for more effective mass transit systems, it becomes apparent that the transit industry must abandon its traditional methods of design and seek updated design philosophy which is available from related industries. With this in mind Rockwell is striving to effect a technological transfer of proven design philosophy, which will assist the transit industry in achieving its overall objectives of providing low-cost, more efficient, more reliable transit systems. This paper shows the progression that has transpired in the design of Mass Transit Drive Trains within Rockwell International over the past five years.
