Abstract:The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) contracted Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) to test the train tracking capabilities of fiber optic acoustic detection (FOAD). Testing was performed to simulate train movements typically seen in normal operations on North American Freight railroads. The testing included a single train at variable speeds as well as multiple trains running on the same and parallel tracks. This testing evaluated the FOAD system capabilities to track train speed, length, direction of travel, and to determine track occupancy in parallel track territory.
