On October 4, 2012 a signal case at the Rose Quarter MAX platform was destroyed by a car traveling at 80 mph off the freeway ramp.
Police say the driver of the BMW suffered a medical situation after exiting I-84 west and taking the freeway ramp leading to the Rose Quarter. Approaching N.E. 1st and Holladay, the car flipped end over end, TriMet said. It crossed through a pedestrian walkway in the middle of the Rose Quarter MAX Station, then flew across the MAX tracks, over the curb on the north platform, knocked out a pedestrian railing and smashed into the signal case. Police said the driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The signal case contained TWC equipment and an addon box with communications equipment, all of which needed to be replaced with new equipment.
ATSI completed the project in under 2 weeks from award of the contract to field installation. This included purchasing equipment, case fabrication, equipment replication and factory wiring of racks, field cable termination, wiring, and verification testing.
