... Guiding the Selection & Application of Wayside Energy Storage Technologies for Rail Transit and Electric Utilities Transit Cooperative Research Program Transportation Research Board Page 48 of 61 8 Conclusions This project has taken a detailed look at the potential benefit of wayside energy storage as a solution to several problems transit agencies may face particularly in light of increasing demands on the operation of their systems resulting from increased ridership and infrastructure expansions, and as transit agencies examine ways to reduce energy use. To address these needs an energy storage research consortium was formed at the American Public Transportation Association to gain more detailed knowledge of the potential effectiveness of wayside energy storage concepts.
