Abstract:The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) set out to develop a guidance document which provides information on the design considerations and potential risk mitigations for high-speed rail (HSR) systems adjacent to and sharing corridors with existing conventional railway operations. The objective of this project is to provide input to and support the development of the guidance document by conducting a comprehensive literature review of the 11 hazards associated with HSR operations adjacent to conventional tracks that were identified by FRA. This report is the first part of the three-part project that defines the scope of the literature review and summarizes the results from the literature review. Causal analysis was conducted for mainline passenger and freight train accidents to understand major factors leading to passenger and freight train accidents and identify accident causes that are more relevant to HSR systems adjacent to and sharing corridors with existing conventional railway operations.
