  1. What Are “We” Up To?The Passenger Perspective

  2. Three Areas of Activity Regulatory Language Analysis Support

  3. Regulatory Language • The RSIA of 2008 • Created an Opportunity to Consider Industry Issues: • Scientific and Medical Research • Technology • Passenger Railroad Scheduling & Practices • Differences Between Freight and Passenger

  4. Regulatory Language RSAC Working Group Started June `09 Established a Task Force Laid Ground Work for Regulation

  5. Regulatory Language • Four Core Elements • Base-Line Limits: 12 / 8 • Scientific Analysis • Fatigue Mitigation Plans • Training

  6. Regulatory Language Core Elements To Be Supplemented With Statutory Language By FRA Result = Part 228, Subpart F

  7. Analysis • Two Pronged: • Analyze schedules using an approved biomathematical model • Survey employees to determine actual work/rest habits

  8. Schedule Analysis • @ 80% of Passenger Schedules Analyzed • Majority at Risk For Fatigue <1% of the Time

  9. Analysis: Daylight Overtime Assignments

  10. Analysis: Five Midnights

  11. SEPTA’s Scheduled Assignments • 941 Regular Assignments • 13 At Risk • All Were Overnight Schedules

  12. Extra List & Relief Day Data • July, 2009: All Extra-List and Relief Day Work • SEPTA: @1% At Risk • MNRR: @1.7% At Risk • LIRR: @1.1% At Risk

  13. Results Of The Schedule Analysis? • “Time of Day” Presents the Challenge, Not Necessarily “Time on Duty” • Potential Problem for Both Regular and Extra-List Assignments

  14. Work Survey Analysis • More Time Consuming Than Schedule Analysis • Limited Response From Target Audience • Anticipate Results Sept. – Oct.?

  15. Support • Support Plan: • Articulate Schedules That Do Not Require Modification • Identify Countermeasures For At-Risk Conditions • Provide Means For Compliance • Published on FRA Web Site

  16. Support • A Fatigue Analysis Tool • A Guidance Document • A Appendix to Subpart F

  17. Fatigue Analysis Tool • FRA Working On The Acquisition • Performance Specifications are Critical • Discussions On Relating Hours-of-Service Records to Fatigue Modeling

  18. Guidance Document • An Aid For: • Conducting Analysis • Selecting Mitigations • Mitigation Strategies • Based on Dr. Gertler’s Work • 7 Categories • @ 53 Separate Initiatives

  19. Tentative Timeline Draft rule to RSAC Working Group on 5/20 Submit Consensus Recommendation to the Full RSAC (possible electronic vote) NPRM In Fourth Quarter of 2010 Final Rule No Later Than October 2011 The Task Force To Complete Support Materials
