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 second part of the three-part project that consists of the following: the general hazard assessment, which provides a general risk framework and procedures to identify, evaluate, and mitigate the risk of any potential hazard of HSR operations on shared-use rail corridors; and the detailed hazard assessment, which provides guidance to perform a risk assessment of the potential hazards.
