Abstract:

The purpose of this analysis is to quantify the “business benefits” of Positive Train Control (PTC for the Class I freight railroad industry1. Positive Train Control is a concept, rather than a single technology or system. It can include many different capabilities, covering a range of railroad functions. The three components of PTC are the on-board computer (OBC) with Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) location capability, a dedicated wireless digital data link between locomotives and a control center, and the central office hardware and software at the control center.
