Breakdown of rapid rail energy costs: A study of three systems

Author

  • Fels, Margaret Fulton

Abstract

The total energy consumption of three urban rapid rail systems is analyzed to obtain a detailed breakdown of the traction and station contributions. The systems chosen, PATH, PATCO and BART, span a wide range of characteristics representing age, service region and size. The primary data source for the analysis is monthly bills, whose disaggregation determines the ultimate breakdown of the total energy consumption for each system.
