Abstract:

This paper discusses the interest of railroads in advanced command, control, communication, and information (C3&I) technology. One C3&I project, the Advanced Train Control System (ATCS), is described, and research topics in support of that project are proposed. C3&I systems are being implemented to improve railroad productivity, customer service, and service reliability. Although significant progress has been made, even greater progress is in store in the future as railroads take advantage of advanced computer and digital data communication technology.
