Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The General Accounting Office (GAO) made as assessment of the effectiveness of the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA's) safety inspection program. This report, the third in a series, focuses on the FRA's inspection coverage standards, how FRA uses data to target railroads for inspection, follow-up actions on inspection results, and uniformity in the application of safety regulations. GAO found that FRA's inspection program does not provide assurance that the nation's railroads are operating safely.

Updated as of May 29, 2018 FRA is amending the Track Safety Standards and Passenger Equipment Safety Standards to promote the safe interaction of rail vehicles with the track over which they operate under a variety of conditions at speeds up to 220 m.p.h. The final rule revises standards for track geometry and safety limits for vehicle response to track conditions, enhances vehicle/track qualification procedures, and adds flexibility for permitting high cant deficiency train operations through curves at conventional speeds. The rule accounts for a range of vehicle types that are currently in operation, as well as vehicle types that may likely be used in future high-speed or high cant deficiency rail operations, or both. The rule is based on the results of simulation studies designed to identify track geometry irregularities associated with unsafe wheel/rail forces and accelerations, thorough reviews of vehicle qualification and revenue service test data, and consideration of international practices.

Updated as of May 29, 2018 FRA is proposing to amend the Federal Track Safety Standards to promote the safety of railroad operations over continuous welded rail (CWR). In particular, FRA is proposing specific requirements for the qualification of persons designated to inspect CWR track, or supervise the installation, adjustment, or maintenance of CWR track. FRA is also proposing to clarify the procedures associated with the submission of CWR plans to FRA by track owners. FRA proposes that these plans focus on inspecting CWR for pull-apart prone conditions, and focus more specifically on CWR joint installation and maintenance procedures. This proposed rule would also make other changes to the requirements governing CWR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the effectiveness of the Department of Transportation's (DOT) rail safety inspection and enforcement programs, focusing on the: (1) improvement the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has made in its track inspection program; and (2) implementation problems that still limit the effectiveness of track inspections. GAO found that: (1) FRA has improved its track inspection program, and its strategy for correcting its weaknesses is sound; (2) to further strengthen rail safety, FRA needs to incorporate site-specific data on passenger and hazardous materials traffic in its inspection plan and improve the reliability of accident and injury data; (3) FRA has enhanced its daily oversight of track safety activities; (4) inspectors are applying track safety regulations and reporting track defects more consistently than before; (5) FRA does not always enforce its policy that inspectors review a railroad's compliance history before physically inspecting a track; (6) FRA faces a difficult challenge in revising the safety standards for excepted track; (7) track safety regulations do not allow FRA inspectors to write violations for excepted track and do not require railroads to fix cited defects; and (8) the number of reported accidents and cited defects on excepted track has increased, and FRA is concerned that railroads have abused the excepted track provision.
Book Synopsis Vehicle Track Interaction Safety Standards by : Brian Marquis
Download or read book Vehicle Track Interaction Safety Standards written by Brian Marquis and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Abstract: Vehicle/Track Interaction (VTI) Safety Standards aim to reduce the risk of derailments and other accidents attributable to the dynamic interaction between moving vehicles and the track over which they operate. On March 13, 2013, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) published a final rule titled "Vehicle/Track Interaction Safety Standards; High-Speed and High Cant Deficiency Operations" which amended the Track Safety Standards (49 CFR Part213) and the Passenger Equipment Safety Standards (49 CFR Part 238) in order to promote VTI safety under a variety of conditions at speeds up to 220 mph. Among its main accomplishments, the final rule revises standards for track geometry and enhances qualification procedures for demonstrating vehicle trackworthiness to take advantage of computer modeling. The Track Safety Standards provide safety limits for maximum allowable track geometry variations for all nine FRA Track Classes - i.e., safety "minimums." These limits serve to identify conditions that require immediate attention because they may pose or create a potential safety hazard. While these conditions are generally infrequent, they define the worst conditions that can exist before a vehicle is required to slow down. To promote the safe interaction of rail vehicles with the track over which they operate (i.e. wheels stay on track, and vehicle dynamics do not overload the track structure, vehicle itself, or cause injury to passengers), these conditions must be considered in the design of suspension systems. In particular, rail vehicle suspensions must be designed to control the dynamic response such that wheel/rail forces and vehicle accelerations remain within prescribed thresholds (VTI safety limits) when traversing these more demanding track geometry conditions at all allowable speeds associated with at particular track class. To help understand the differences in performance requirements (design constraints) being placed on the design of passenger equipment suspensions throughout the world, comparisons have been made between FRA safety standards and similar standards used internationally (Europe, Japan, and China) in terms of both allowable track geometry deviations and the criteria that define acceptable vehicle performance (VTI safety limits). While the various factors that have influenced the development of each of the standards are not readily available or fully understood at this time (e.g., economic considerations, provide safety for unique operating conditions, promote interoperability by providing a railway infrastructure that supports a wide variety of rail vehicle types, etc.), this comparative study helps to explain in part why, in certain circumstances, equipment that has been designed for operation in other parts of the world has performed poorly, and in some cases had derailment problems when imported to the U.S. Furthermore, for specific equipment that is not specifically designed for operation in the U.S., it helps to identify areas that may need to be addressed with other appropriate action(s) to mitigate potential safety concerns, such as by ensuring that the track over which the equipment is operating is maintained to standards appropriate for the specific equipment type, or by placing operational restrictions on the equipment, or both. In addition to these comparisons, an overview of the new FRA qualification procedures which are used for demonstrating vehicle trackworthiness is provided in this paper. These procedures, which include use of simulations to demonstrate dynamic performance, are intended to give guidance to vehicle designers and provide a more comprehensive tool for safety assessment and verification of the suitability of a particular equipment design for the track conditions found in the U.S."--Technical report documentation page.
