Not exact matches
The proposed rule is based on recommendations developed by the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee's General Passenger Safety Task Force, and includes new requirements for both powered and manual
exterior side doors and door safety systems on passenger
trains.
Some of the proposed requirements include: equipping new passenger cars that have powered
side doors with an obstruction detection system and a bypass feature that allows a
train engineer to manually override the door safety system; connecting new passenger cars that have either manual or powered
exterior side doors to a door summary circuit that informs the controlling cab of the status of the doors to prohibit the
train from developing tractive power if any of the
exterior side doors are open; and safety briefings for
train crews to identify crewmember responsibilities as they relate to the safe operation of the
exterior side doors.
On most passenger
trains, one or more lights will illuminate on the interior or
exterior of a passenger car above the
exterior side door that is open.
These various appurtenances typically act to provide a warning when
exterior side doors are closing, respond to obstructions in closing doors, and prevent the doors from opening when a
train is in motion.
Power door systems operate electrically from commands given by
train crews through signals from door switches, sensors, relays, and other devices that interface with and monitor the
exterior side doors individually and throughout the entire trainline circuit.
Operating a
train in door by - pass mode can negate some or all of the safety features of the
exterior side door safety system, including the obstruction detection system and door status indicator.
