• Abstract:
  This final report covers the project performance and results on the use and validation of a secondary warning device for roadway workers. The system provides a visual and audible advance warning alert to train operators of workers ahead and a visual and audible advance warning to track workers of a train approaching the work zone. Sacramento Regional Transit District partnered with Protran Technology for a demonstration of the Employee in Charge Software System (EICSS) that uses smartphone technology to issue and track roadway workers along the trackway alignment.
