Chair: Charles P. Elms Lee+Elliot Ph: 1 (703) 968-7883 Draft Standard Minutes Members |
Status: IEEE Std 1478-2001 is now a published standard, available for purchase from the IEEE On-Line Store. Upcoming Meetings: No meetings are planned until time for IEEE re-affirmation. |
| Scope: This standard specifes baseline environmental conditions under which transit rail car electronic equipment shall both operate and/or survive. Special requirements anticipated for applications that have environmental conditions outside these baseline conditions are neither covered nor intended herein. Environmental conditions include: temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, water, corrosive elements, and vibration/shock. These conditions depend upon equipment location such as under car, interior, truck mounted, and carbody mounted. |
Purpose: The purpose of the standard is to provide a baseline for contract specifcations, design and manufacture of electronic equipment to be supplied for transit rail cars to eliminate unnecessary variability in specifcations, allowing manufacturers to provide consistent product lines that can meet the needs of the industry, save costs and improve reliability. |
