2013-04679 Vehicle/Track Interaction Safety Standards; High-Speed and High Cant Deficiency Operations Rule FRA is amending the Track Safety Standards and Passenger Equipment Safety Standards to promote the safe interaction of rail vehicles with the track over which they operate under a variety of conditions at speeds up to 220 m.p.h. The final rule revises standards for track geometry and safety limits for vehicle response to track conditions, enhances vehicle/track qualification procedures, and adds flexibility for permitting high cant deficiency train operations through curves at conventional speeds. The rule accounts for a range of vehicle types that are currently in operation, as well as vehicle types that may likely be used in future high-speed or high cant deficiency rail operations, or both. The rule is based on the results of simulation studies designed to identify track geometry irregularities associated with unsafe wheel/rail forces and accelerations, thorough reviews of vehicle qualification and revenue service test data, and consideration of international practices. 2013-03-13 2013 3 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/03/13/2013-04679/vehicletrack-interaction-safety-standards-high-speed-and-high-cant-deficiency-operations https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-03-13/pdf/2013-04679.pdf Transportation Department; Federal Railroad Administration 492,185 FRA is amending the Track Safety Standards and Passenger Equipment Safety Standards to promote the safe interaction of rail vehicles with the track over which they operate under a variety of conditions at speeds up to 220 m.p.h.
