| 摘要： | For this report, the Appropriations Conferees asked Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to 'submit an updated economic analysis of the costs and benefits of positive train control and related systems that takes into account advances in technology and system savings to carriers and shippers as well as other cost savings related to prioritized deployment of these systems.' The Senate Appropriations Committee report from which the study request was derived reads as follows: Positive train control(PTC)--The Committee agrees with the National Transportation Safety Board that the current pace of development and implementation of collision avoidance technologies is inadequate. No plan for industry-wide integration has been developed. The Committee directs FRA to submit an updated economic analysis of the costs and benefits of PTC and related systems that takes into account advances in technology, and systems savings to carriers and shippers as well as other cost savings that might be realized by prioritized deployment of these systems, especially along lines that might mix freight and passenger trains. This report endeavors to describe safety benefits, and business benefits of PTC and allied business systems, which might utilize a PTC communications platform or draw information from PTC functions and utilize it to support business applications, together with the costs of those systems and applications. |
