Independent Safety Risk Assessment

A preliminary fault-tree risk assessment prepared by Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) compares TrackAccess to manual Track Warrant Control (TWC). Baseline results indicate a collision hazard rate improvement of approximately 37x, with sensitivity analyses showing improvements ranging from about 18x to 75x depending on assumptions. Note: The report describes hazard rates, not accident rates, and includes caveats and sensitivity analyses. See the PDF for details.
