Abstract:

In 2007, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) launched C3RS, the Confidential Close Call Reporting System, as a demonstration project to learn how to facilitate the effective reporting and implementation of corrective actions, and assess the impact of reporting close call events on safety. This paper describes some of the challenges and remedies in establishing effective problem identification and corrective actions processes when setting up an event reporting system like C3RS.
