About this award
The Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration awarded a $550,000 cost-no-fee definitive contract to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, doing business as Virginia Tech, to conduct a multi-site simulation examining the impact of integrated rail crossing violation warning and in-vehicle auditory/visual alert systems on driver behavior. Virginia Tech will utilize Michigan Technological University as a subcontractor.
The award is in response to a Broad Agency Announcement seeking research initiatives across track inspection and maintenance, rolling stock and equipment, train control, human factors, and workforce development to advance the Federal Railroad Administration's rail safety programs. The research under this contract will analyze risk mitigation strategies and improved human capital practices through simulation of driver responses to integrated rail crossing and vehicle alerting technologies to reduce rail accidents.
