Abstract:Under Federal Railroad Administration Task Order 257, Transportation Technology Center, Inc. partnered with BNSF Railway
Company to complete Builds 1 and 2 of the Employee-In-Charge (EIC) portable remote control (PRT) application software and to
successfully integrate and test the EIC PRT Build 2 application with Electronic Train Management System. The EIC PRT system
provides an EIC of maintenance of way workers with an interface to the host Positive Train Control (PTC) system to enforce the
train entry into protected work areas and speed of trains operating within work areas. The EIC PRT Build 1 application, completed
in Phase 3, implemented a minimum set of functions. EIC PRT Build 2, completed in project Phase 4a of the project, expanded
the function set to improve usability by roadway workers. Project Phases 3 and 4a included systems engineering, safety
