Meet the DOTX 225: A Legacy of Innovation in Rail Testing Originally built as a standard boxcar and later transformed by the Federal Railroad Administration into a state-of-the-art Automated Track Geometry Measurement System (ATGMS) vehicle, the DOTX 225 has a rich history in advancing rail safety and efficiency. After being purchased in 2015 and refurbished at the #ENSCO facility in Chambersburg, PA, the DOTX 225 played a crucial role in demonstrating ATGMS technology on freight lines across the country, surveying approximately 135,000 miles under ATIP between 2017 and 2023. Fast forward to today, the DOTX 225 is now dedicated to the TTC and is set to play a pivotal role in our upcoming on-track demonstration at the Precision Test Track (PTT). The PTT is used to confirm vehicle/track interaction service worthiness of rail vehicles, analyzing characteristics like Pitch & Bounce, Yaw & Sway, and Twist & Roll caused by track geometry. Stay tuned for more updates as we showcase the DOTX 225 in action on the PTT during the upcoming TTC Conference & Tour this October 22-23. This is a unique opportunity to witness cutting-edge rail technology in a real-world environment!

🚦 Enhancing Rail Safety and Mobility: A Must-Read from Mass Transit magazine! 🚦 A big thank you to Mass Transit for shedding light on a critical topic in rail and urban transportation—Innovative Pre-Preemption Strategies for Traffic Light-Controlled Intersections Adjacent to Railroad Crossings. This cutting-edge approach, as detailed in their recent article, is revolutionizing how we manage traffic flow and safety at some of the most challenging intersections. As we gear up for the #TTC24 Conference, we're thrilled that this topic will be a key part of our discussions. The TTC is at the forefront of testing and developing these innovative strategies, helping pave the way for safer, more efficient urban transportation systems. Why is this important? 🔴 Safety First: Pre-preemption reduces the risk of collisions at railroad crossings. 🔴 Improved Traffic Flow: Smoother traffic movement means fewer delays and less congestion. 🔴 Environmental Benefits: Reduced idling and stop-and-go driving lead to lower emissions. The work being done at the TTC, in collaboration with leading researchers, is critical to the future of transportation safety. Don't miss out on learning more about these advancements at the TTC Conference! 🔗 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/eHZ5RSXW #safety #mobility #transit #passengerrail #research #rail #railcrossings #innovation Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida ENSCO, Inc.
