This report describes and summarizes the test activities and presents the results of a two-year winter operation test program for three technologically-different Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) systems. The basic objective of the program was to determine if fully-automated Downtown People Movers (DPM) systems could provide reliable urban transportation in severe winter climates. Specifically, the program was to determine the capabilities and limitations of the suppliers' developments in the areas of traction, propulsion, braking, steering, power collection, vehicle and guideway electronics, switching, door opening, and overall system performance in severe winter weather. The program addressed these areas through a combination of subsystem and system-level capability under various winter conditions.
