DOT - Federal Transit Administration

Description

FTA-2011-022-TRI is a demonstration project which has two main objectives: 1) to improve the safety of transit workers, specifically right-of-way safety for rail transit workers through demonstration of advanced track inspection techniques that limits the inspector�s exposure to rail right of way by visually inspecting the condition of the tracks from a safe location and; 2) enhances the quality of inspection by increasing the inspection frequency and reporting of defects.FTA seeks applications to demonstrate innovative technologies that support the achievement of these objectives.
