Abstract:

This report outlines research and demonstration of a roadway worker protection (RWP) warning technology developed by Bombardier Rail called TrackSafe. The system was installed at the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and was designed to reduce the hazards of working within a transit rail right-of-way (ROW). The report details the proof of concept, design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the technology, shares issues experienced during the project, and provides a qualitative assessment supported by lessons learned. Sharing these experiences should further enhance RWP technologies for more reliable systems in the future, ultimately creating a safer work environment for ROW workers at rail transit agencies.
