Vulnerability Study of the Northeast Corridor -
Vulnerability Study of the Northeast Corridor The Northeast Corridor (NEC or Corridor), in
principle, qualifies as critical national infrastructure, an essential urban transportation route for
multiple cities along its route, and an important intercity route. According to Amtrak, 2,200 trains
carry some 250,000 passengers along some portion of the Northeast Corridor daily. Amtrak service accounts for more than half the traffic (compared with commercial aviation) between New York and Washington. FY 2010 travel totaled 10.4 million passengers. The share of intercity
travel accounted for by private automobiles is unknown. In addition to providing mobility for
urban and intercity travelers, the Corridor improves the reliability of travel by providing
alternatives when, for example, air travel is impeded by weather events. Like other
transportation systems, the NEC will be subject to the impacts of a changing climate. Climate impacts may include: rail buckling from additional heat; operational impacts from more frequent
storms, flooding of substations, tunnels, track, and bridges exacerbated by sea level rise, flood
damage from more intense storm events, heat effects on overhead catenaries, heat and weather effects on waiting passengers. These climate impacts will affect the capacity and reliability of both commuter and intercity travel along the corridor as well as freight movement. The purpose of this study is to examine the potential impact of climate change on the NEC (on the railroad tracks owned or used by AMTRAK running between Washington, DC and Boston) and its effect on rail operations based on existing and future traffic conditions. |

Update of Rail to Truck Diversion Model - The USDOT’s Intermodal Transportation and Inventory Cost (ITIC) Model is a PC-based model for performing policy analysis of issues concerning freight movement, such as modal diversion and
the assessment of economic benefits associated with changes in transportation strategy or
infrastructure. The model was used in the last comprehensive truck size and weight study as well as other policy studies assessing potential modal diversion. With the passage of MAP-21, the surface transportation reauthorization bill, the need to undertake another comprehensive study is at hand with specific language in the bill calling for a new evaluation. The model would be of
critical use in determining rail traffic diversion to highway depending on the truck configurations
under study. It has been 8 years since the parameters in the model were examined and updated. This study would review the model parameters and complete that update. |

Trends in World Transportation and
Manufacturing Costs & How They Affect
Future Freight Flows and Manufacturing
Center Locations - With concerns over rising logistics costs, U.S. companies that import goods are becoming
increasingly concerned over higher transportation and manufacturing costs in international markets. The manufacturing centers in the world economy have tended to shift away from the
U.S. but North American manufacturing, especially in Mexico and in the Southeast U.S., appear to be rebounding. This paradigm shift in the way that we normally think about how we receive our consumer goods, where they are transported over vast distances across oceans from manufacturer to consumers, may be evolving. This study will look at how U.S. firms can control logistics cost and how changes to international and national market conditions will potentially result in changes in manufacturing locations. These changes can alter transportation flows of
good and the corridors in which these goods move. This research will consider how the world flow of goods could change during a 25 year period and what it will mean for freight flows and
transportation investment. |

Current and Future Rail Freight Bottlenecks - With limited public and private dollars available for investment in infrastructure projects and an ever increasing burden on the freight rail transportation system, it is of particular importance for key stakeholders in organizations that grant money and/or loans to transportation projects to understand the most critical bottlenecks on the U.S. freight rail transportation system. The definition of bottleneck is not limited to capacity issues solely on the freight rail system but also congestion that rail creates when it crosses and/or shares routing with other modes of transportation such as passenger rail and roadways. The research will look at current and future
freight flow trends, identify current and potential bottlenecks, and quantify the public cost of not improving the identified corridor and the public benefit of improving the corridor. |

Analyzing Grade Crossing Data to Prevent
Highway/Rail Collisions with an Emphasis on
Freight Trucking - The study would review the rail\highway grade crossings that have physical characteristics that potentially could cause a freight truck to become immobilized in the grade crossing. These studies will analyze accidents that have occurred at crossings and from the grade crossing inventory deemed likely to have a freight truck stuck at a grade crossing. The study will
determine if these crossings could be classified to warn the truckers and public through visual aids
or navigation systems, and the level of effort for the trucking industry to adopt this guidance. |

employees to report safety issues without fear of reprisal. The Multiple Cause Incident Analysis
tool is used by participants to analyze and document the incident causes, as well as record
recommended corrected actions and the final dispostion of those recommendations. The tool needs to be further developed so that it can be expanded to make it usable beyond the C3RS project, possibly linked to RISPC, or the initial and final accident reporting forms used by inspectors. |
