US & S ARRC award

GPS World, Jan, 2005

> Alaska Railroad Corp. (ARRC) has awarded a contract to Union Switch & Signal (US & S) for the implementation of a vital (fail-safe) positive train control (PTC) system leveraging location information from existing onboard GPS receivers. The GPS data will help prevent train-to-train collisions, enforce permanent speed restrictions and temporary "slow" orders, enhance real-time communications, and reinforce the protection of roadway workers and their equipment.
