Positive Train Control Test Bed Verification

Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) deployed the Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System (ACSES) and the Interoperable Train Control (ITC) system on the Railroad Test Track (RTT) at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, CO, where the implementation of the PTC Test Bed successfully verified and satisfied the system requirements of Positive Train Control (PTC). TTCI achieved this between June 2013 and March 2017 through a combination of tests as well as a demonstration using PTC systems in test programs associated with the North American railroad industry.
