• Abstract:
  This stop signal overrun (SSO) and near miss investigation template represents a tool to identify contributing factors for SSO events and events which would have resulted in a SSO if not for positive train control intervention. As the SSO database grows, railroads can use the aggregate data to analyze how contributing factors change over time and as a way to understand the efficacy of particular mitigation efforts. This template serves to provide railroads with a starting point for the types of data to collect to understand why stop signal overrun events occur.
