Positive Train Control - PTC
As a leading railroad contractor in the United States, Hulcher Services plays a big role in helping the railroads meet the requirements of the Positive Train Control (PTC) Program.
According to the Federal Railroad Administration, "PTC systems are integrated command, control, communications, and information systems for controlling train movements with safety, security, precision, and efficiency."
Positive Train Control - PTC promises to improve safety on the railroads by reducing the probability of collisions between trains, casualties to roadway workers and damage to their equipment. The system will also improve security by providing more precise monitoring and remote intervention capability.
In addition to improving safety and security, Positive Train Control - PTC systems also help railroads to control and implement their scheduled operations more effectively, and enjoy improved asset utilization and greater track capacity.
