Automated People Mover Standards establishes the minimum requirements for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of an automated people mover (APM) system. An APM is defined as a guided transit mode with fully automated operation, featuring vehicles that operate on guideways with exclusive right-of-way. Collectively, this three-volume standard will assist the industry and public by expediting the approval and release process and facilitating the use of an APM system. Part 2 provides general information on vehicles and propulsion and braking systems (PBS). Topics dedicated to vehicles include vehicle capacity and load, structural design, coupling, fire protection, and electrical systems. PBS topics include methodology, functions, component design and testing.

Prepared by the Electric Power and Communications Committee of the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of ASCE. Recent moderate and strong California earthquakes demonstrate that parts of electric power systems are very vulnerable to damage. Most damage is due to the failure of porcelain elements in high-voltage substation equipment, although performance is also strongly influenced by specific equipment designs and installation practices. Damage to various lifelines and structures has impaired the performance of some communication and control systems after earthquakes. This Manual issues methods to improve the earthquake response of electric power systems. It deals with major power system elements—power generating stations, transmission and distribution lines, substations, system communications and control, and ancillary facilities and functions. A large portion of the document is devoted to high-voltage substations, as this is where most power system damage has been concentrated. Topics include: sources and effects of earthquakes; overview of earthquake performance of power systems and facilities; approach to improved earthquake performance; substations; transmission and distribution lines and support structures; power generating facilities; system control; communication systems; and ancillary facilities and functions.
