Abstract:

Passing a stop signal without proper authority, also known as a stop signal overrun (SSO), can have serious consequences for safety, such as collisions, derailments, and injury to employees working on or near the track. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has identified factors that contribute to trains passing stop signals, and possible measures to mitigate the risk of SSOs. This document shares these findings so that railroads may better understand and address causes of SSOs. This publication is a resource for railroad management professionals, including those responsible for operations, infrastructure, and equipment; this also includes content targeted toward a variety of audiences.
