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.

Key applications for safer rail operations

Typical Use Cases

Dark Territory Operations

Manage train movements in areas without signal systems using clear, auditable authority controls.

Roadway Worker Protection

Streamline authority issuance to safeguard crews working on or near tracks with real-time updates.

Authority Status Visibility

Provide dispatchers and field staff with instant access to current authority assignments across the network.

Reduced Contract Dispatching

Lower dependency on external dispatch services by automating authority management in applicable territories.
