Abstract:The United States Department of Transportation’s (US
DOT) Research and Innovative Technology Administration’s
John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe
Center), under the direction of the US DOT Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) Office of Research and Development
(R&D), is conducting a Trespass Prevention Research Study
(TPRS) in the city of West Palm Beach, Florida.
The main objective of this research is to demonstrate
potential benefits, including documenting best practices and
lessons learned, of implementation and evaluation of trespass
prevention strategies on the rail network in West Palm Beach,
Florida and all of its rights-of-way.
This technical paper will describe and provide the most
up-to-date results from this study, which is beginning its
second year of a three year study period. The cumulative
results of the trespass prevention strategies will be analyzed to
better inform the determination of areas of potential risk,
develop solutions to prevent and minimize risk exposure and
implement successful countermeasures in the future.
Preliminary analysis from the WPB corridor trespass
prevention activities are described in this technical paper. The
ultimate objective of the research is to aid in the development
of national recommendations or guidelines for reducing
trespass-related incidents and fatalities.
