• Abstract:
  This research reviewed existing standards and best practices and develops use cases, a risk assessment matrix, and high-level concepts of operations (CONOPS) for Rail Transit RWP. The project evaluated current industry practices and technologies in use for roadway worker protection and conducted a risk/hazard analysis of current practices using an industry-representative survey, available National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident reports, and National Transit Database (NTD) incident data. This process was also used to develop RWP use case scenarios. RWP CONOPS were developed to reduce identified risks associated with the work performed by roadway workers, and a gap analysis was conducted of operational methods and current available and emerging technologies that can improve roadway worker safety.
