Abstract:

This document is a report of the September 10-12, 2002, Midyear Meeting of the Transportation Research Board's Railroad Operational Safety Subcommittee, AND10(1), in Irvine, California. The primary purpose of the meeting was for key stakeholders to have an opportunity to discuss the most significant human factors-related research areas facing the railroad enterprise. The two goals of this meeting were (1) to develop and rank research problem statements and (2) to bring together national and international members of the rail transportation enterprise to discuss three major topics believed critical to railroad operational safety: fatigue and vigilance; safety culture; and the impact of advanced technology on railroad operational safety. This report summarizes the proceedings of the meeting and its follow-up activities.
