Rail Transit Track Inspection Pilot Project: FTA-2011-022-TRI is a demonstration project which has two main objectives: 1) to improve the safety of transit workers, specifically right-of-way safety for rail transit workers through demonstration of advanced track inspection techniques that limits the inspectors exposure to rail right of way by visually inspecting the condition of the tracks from a safe location and; 2) enhances the quality of inspection by increasing the inspection frequency and reporting of defects.FTA seeks applications to demonstrate innovative technologies that support the achievement of these objectives.
