As part of UMTA's Subsystems Technology Application to Rail Systems (STARS) Program, a comprehensive study of the problems of rail transit car air conditioning was undertaken. Six transit authorities studied air comfort systems made by 4 different manufacturers on 20 types of railcar. The study determined that there are major factors contributing to air conditioning problems: hardware design; deficiencies in maintenance information systems; preventive maintenance; employee training; technical documentation; and parts procurement, storage. As part of the analysis, a cost-benefit ratio was developed for improvements made in each problem area.
