项目名称：	Joint Rail Transit Research with the Association of American Railroads/Transportation Technology Center, Inc.
摘要：	Over the years, a number of track-related research problem statements have been submitted for consideration in the TCRP project-selection process. In many instances, the research requested has been similar in nature to research currently being performed for the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the freight railroads at the Association of American Railroads' (AAR) Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) in Pueblo, Colorado. As such, it was felt that perhaps, with some additional TCRP funding, the research being performed at TTCI for the FRA and freight railroads could be modified to provide value to the transit industry, thus leveraging the TCRP investment. Based on this possibility, a TCRP task force of transit track, signal, and rail vehicle experts was formed to review the research being conducted by TTCI to determine whether or not such opportunities existed. Based on this effort, a number of research topics were identified by the task force where TCRP funding could potentially be used to leverage research currently being done at the TTCI for the benefit of the transit industry. As such, a request was made to the TCRP Oversight and Project Selection (TOPS) Committee to provide funding for a joint research effort with the TTCI. The objective of this project is to use TCRP funds to supplement and leverage research already being performed for the FRA and freight railroads at the TTCI in order to obtain benefit for the transit industry. The research will be conducted through the TTCI, thereby taking advantage of similar work being conducted for the FRA and freight railroads.
