The California HighSpeed Train Project (CHSTP) has established a Reliability, Availability, and
Maintainability (RAM) Program to ensure adequate system and service availability for the California
HighSpeed Train (CHST) project. The CHSTP developed this RAM Program Plan (RAMPP) for all
CHSTsystems,structures,andsections,tocomplywiththeCHSTPRAMSProgramPolicyinTM300.05,
RAMrelatedCHSTSystemRequirements(SRs),andapplicableregulatoryrequirements,includingRAM
requirements in 49CFR 200299. This RAMPP guides and coordinates RAM design, analysis, test,
documentation,andcertificationactivitiesbetweenallparticipantsinallCHSTprojectstagesandphases.
The RAMPP provides RAM guidance and requirements for all CHSTP sections, structures, system and
equipment suppliers, including CHSTP and its contractors, and for all work including Design,
Construction,Procurement,andSystemIntegration.
TheCHSTPhasadoptedInternationalElectrotechnicalCommission(IEC)andEuropeanCommitteefor
ElectrotechnicalStandardization(CENELEC)RAMSstandards,particularlyEuropeanNorm(EN)50126
1, as the basis for CHSTP RAM specifications and programs. These IEC and ENs govern RAMS
development and certification for worldwide rail projects large and small, including most recently
developedhighspeedrailsystems.
PertheRAMSProgramPolicy,theRAMworkwillbecloselycoordinatedwiththeSafetyworkgoverned
bytheSafetyandSecurityManagementPlan.

RAMS goals by applying consistent standards and values in the Project specification, design,
construction,installation,acceptance,operation,andmodification/extension.

for purpose and required safetyandavailability. Inaddition, theCHSTP has developed Infrastructure
designcriteriaandspecificrequirementstoensurethatmaintainabilityneedsarecompatiblewithCHSTP
operating constraints, including accessibility for inspection, preventative maintenance, and other
activities.
The RAM program will establish quantified and measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and
RAMtargetsforthecompleteCHSTP.TheCHSTPRAMteamwillestablishRAMtargetsfortheproject
as a whole and develop a RAM model. Compatible targets will be allocated to each discipline. Each
disciplinewillusethesetargetstodistributeRAMallocationstosubsystemswithinthediscipline.These
RAMallocationswillbeincludedintheperformancespecificationandprocurementdocuments.
For each procurement, construction,and operating phase, the CHSTP will establisha compatible set of
RAM targets. The first set will apply to the civil infrastructure components constructed in the first
constructionpackage,CP01,andthefinalcompatiblesetwillapplytothefullphasedCHSTPbuildout.

Step 1 Early Investments / Statewide Benefits includes initial civil construction packages CP01,
CP02,CP03,andCP04,andprocurementoftrackandsystems
The first construction of dedicated highspeed infrastructure for the Initial Construction Segment (ICS)
begins in the Central Valley. Amtrak may operate on the new highspeed ICS tracks, but without
impactingthedesignorintegrityoftheCHSTPinfrastructure.Improvedpassengerrailserviceoverthe
CHSTP track would begin upon completion of the first IOS segment by connecting the San Joaquin
service, ACE, Sacramento Regional Transit, the Capitol Corridor (and potentially Caltrain). Through a
new, strategic approach, there is also the opportunity for new or improved travel between Bakersfield
and Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose, and San Francisco. This expanded Northern California Unified
Servicecouldbeginoperationasearlyas2018.

Step2InitialHighSpeedRailOperations,operatingintotheLosAngelesBasin
The service will be blended with regional/local systems. The IOS is achieved through expansion of the
firstconstructionsegmentintoanelectrifiedoperatinghighspeedraillinefromMercedtoPalmdaleand
the San Fernando Valley, accessing the populous Los Angeles Basin. Following on the work discussed
above, the next priority in implementing the IOS will be closing the rail gap between Northern and
Southern California by crossing the Tehachapi Mountains with new, dedicated highspeed rail
infrastructure.PriortocompletionoftheIOStotheSanFernandoValley,thislinkwilltiethenorthtothe
south at Palmdale, where Metrolink commuter rail service can then provide service and connections
throughout Southern California. Currently, the IOS is defined as extending from Merced to the San

of detail to ensure adequate reliability and fulfillment of the CHSTP specifications and RAMPP
requirements. This may entail conducting an analysis at the subsystem, assembly, lowest level
replaceable unit (LLRU), block, element, or component level, and may require combining differing
analyses from different levels for a single subsystem. The System Supplier Analyst will establish the
appropriate level of detail, and the System Supplier Reliability Manager will review each analysis to
confirmthatthedetaillevelisappropriate.
Totheextentpossible,eachSectionContractorandSystemSupplierwillbaseReliabilityPredictionson

For MILHDBK217 predictions, the equipment suppliers will generally use factors for reliability
prediction which are most applicable to the CHSTP subsystem in use under specified conditions. For
example, bogie truckmounted equipment may be rated for groundmobile application, while car body
mounted electronics may be rated for groundfixed application. Quality, stress, construction, learning,

6.14 Maintainability Demonstration
In coordination with the PMTs Systemwide System Integration RAM Qualification Test Plan, each
CHSTP Section Contractor and System Supplier will conduct a Maintainability Demonstration (MD) to
establish the accuracy of task time estimates for the preventive and corrective maintenance tasks
described in the applicable Maintenance Plan, Maintenance Procedures, and/or Maintenance Manuals.
EachSectionContractorandSystemSupplierwillperformtheMDconcurrentwiththeCHSTPpersonnel
training program. Each Section Contractor and System Supplier will demonstrate selected servicing,
preventivemaintenance,troubleshooting,changeoutofcomponents,correctivemaintenance,anduseof
special tools where special emphasis, instruction, or proficiency is needed. CHSTP will notify System
