PTC 220 MHz Radio: Release 1.0 Integration Testing Test Report

The MCC PTC communication system contains three primary subsystems: 220 MHz radios, Messaging software, and Systems Management software. Integration testing of the communication system refers to a process under which two or more of these subsystems are combined together and tested. This document...

PTC 220 MHZ Radio: Locomotive Noise Test Inventory

The Effects of Work Schedule on Train Handling Performance and Sleep of Locomotive Engineers: A Simulator Study.

Current Federal regulations governing Hours of Service for locomotive engineers allow work schedules that have backwards rotating shift start times. Locomotive engineers who work under such schedules can accumulate a progressive sleep debt over a period of days. The present study demonstrates...

Locomotive Engineer's Activity Diary

About 200 freight engineers working on several major railroads completed a 14-day diary recording such data as: the demographic characteristics of the participants; how much time they spent working, sleeping at home, sleeping away from home, commuting; and how much time they spent on all other...

PTC 220 MHz Radio: Locomotive Radio Manufacturing Test Requirements Specification

The purpose of this document is to establish the manufacturing functional test requirements for the Wayside Radio. This document defines functional test requirements to be implemented for the Wayside radio. It does not document how the requirements are to be implemented. Such design implementation...
