This report describes the efforts of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration's (UMTA) Office of Technical Assistance, Safety and Security Staff, to evaluate the Bay Area Rapid Transit District's (BART) microprocessor-based Automated Emergency Response System (AERS) in central control rooms of other rail rapid transit systems. The report discusses the deployment of demonstration AERS systems at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and at the Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO) of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Also discussed are the subsequent efforts by the central control supervisory staffs through September 1983 to extend the demonstration systems into operating systems that meet not only the emergency action requirements of the respective transit systems, but other unique requirements as well.
