NTI Webinar: TCRP Web-Only Document 71: A Transit Agency Guide to Evaluating Secondary Train Detection/Protection Systems in Communications-Based Train Control Systems*

TRB is cosponsoring a webinar on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 from 2:00-3:30 PM ET that features the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP)'s Web-Only Document 71: A Transit Agency Guide to Evaluating Secondary Train Detection/Protection Systems in Communications-Based Train Control Systems. This webinar will provide a practical approach to evaluating the appropriate level of secondary train detection/protection systems (STD/PS) for a given communications-based train control system application. Participants should register in advance. The National Transit Institute (NTI) is sponsoring this webinar, and there is no fee to register for this event.

The presenters will review different technologies and discuss communications-based train control deployment trends and feedback on operations from rail transit agencies around the world. Additionally, the presenters will provide guidance for selection of an appropriate level of STD/PS, in terms of candidate technologies, product maturity, and potential risks. 

Presenters:

• Kenneth Diemunsch, Parsons
• Muamer Dedovic, Jacobs
• Stuart Landau, Parsons
• Girish Ananthashankaran, Parsons
