What is Positive Train Control (PTC) and Why is it being Implemented? 2. What does PTC do? 3. The Interoperable Electronic Train Management System (I-ETMS) 4. Use of Non-Us GNSS signals for PTC 2 What is Positive Train Control? PTC is a technology capable of automatically controlling train speeds and movements, should a train operator fail to take appropriate action in the prevailing conditions. PTC MUST reliably and functionally prevent train-to-train collisions, overspeed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and movements of trains through switches in the wrong position. 3 Why PTC? Chatsworth, CA September 12, 2008 25 Deaths, 135 Injuries 4 PTC is Required by Statute Congress passed the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), requiring PTC systems to be fully implemented by December 31, 2015 on: Class I railroads’ main lines that transport poison- or toxic-by-inhalation hazardous materials and Any main lines with regularly scheduled intercity or commuter rail passenger service In October 2015, Congress extended the deadline for full implementation by at least three years to December 31, 2018, and required FRA to approve any railroad’s request for an “alternative schedule and sequence” with a final deadline not later than December 31, 2020, if a railroad demonstrated it met certain statutory criteria by December 31, 2018. 5 Overview of a PTC System GPS 2.

Necessarily, most of the lists of legislators are unofficial, final certification hot having been possible so soon after the election of November 2.

However, every effort for accuracy has been made by state officials who provided the lists aiid by the CouncJLl_ of State Governments. » A second 1949. supplement, to be issued in July, will list appointive administrative officers in all the states, and also their elective officers and legislators, with any revisions of the. present rosters that may be required. ^ Thus the basic, biennial ^oo/t q/7^?

S. Senate Why GAO Did This Study What GAO Found In the wake of a 2008 commuter train To install positive train control (PTC)—a communications-based system collision that resulted in 25 fatalities, designed to prevent certain types of train accidents caused by human factors— RSIA was enacted. It requires major almost all railroads are overlaying their existing infrastructure with PTC freight railroads, Amtrak, and components; nonetheless, most railroads report they will miss the December 31, commuter railroads to install PTC on 2015, implementation deadline. Both the Association of American Railroads many major routes by the end of 2015. (AAR) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) have reported that most PTC implementation, overseen by railroads will not have PTC fully implemented by the deadline. Of the four major FRA, is a complex endeavor that freight railroads included in GAO’s review, only one expects to meet the 2015 touches almost every aspect of train deadline. The other three freight railroads report that they expect to have PTC operations on major lines. According to implemented by 2017 or later. Commuter railroads generally must wait until FRA, 37 railroads are required to implement PTC. GAO was asked to freight railroads and Amtrak equip the rail lines they operate on, and most of the examine the status of PTC seven commuter railroads included in this review reported that they do not expect implementation.

  • Positive Train Control (PTC)
    Positive Train Control (PTC) Positive Train Control Safety is Amtrak’s top priority. Amtrak is a leader in the installation of Positive Train Control (PTC), a safety technology designed to match train speed to track conditions for improved safety. Positive Train Control provides an added layer of safety. Installation and maintenance of PTC is the responsibility of the railroad that controls the track. Amtrak Infrastructure In December 2015, Amtrak activated PTC on track between New York and Washington, D.C., completing installation on most Amtrak-owned infrastructure on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) spine. PTC has been installed between Boston and New Haven since 2000. The only exceptions are seven miles, all of which are located in or adjacent to terminal areas where trains move slower and automatic train control systems are in service. Of note, Amtrak is not responsible for installing PTC on the following segments of the NEC which it doesn’t control, between New York and Boston: Harold Interlocking east of New York Penn Station is the responsibility of the LIRR, and Metro-North Railroad is responsible for the 56 mile New Rochelle-New Haven segment owned by the states of New York and Connecticut. In early 2016, Amtrak activated PTC on the 104-mile Harrisburg Line. Amtrak has also installed and is operating PTC along the 97 miles of track it owns in Michigan and Indiana, where PTC was introduced in 2002. Amtrak is working on installation of PTC on other lines, including the 60 mile Springfield line (where a major double-tracking project funded by the state of Connecticut is underway), the 105 mile Hudson line between Poughkeepsie and the Schenectady area (leased by Amtrak), and the 135 mile Dearborn-Kalamazoo segment of the Michigan line owned by Michigan, as well as the Chicago Union Station terminal areas.
