| Abstract | In support of industry and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) objectives to develop methods to increase automation in freight rail operations, Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) performed a requirements analysis and initiated a safety analysis for a locomotive-borne sensor platform (SP) to support automated train operations (ATO). In addition, TTCI conducted research into sensor types for use by the SP, which showed that a suite of sensors working in concert is needed to meet SP requirements. |
