6 Presenta Scope AAR management approach to C&. Task Force work efforts including coope tion with AREMA Standards in Railway Electronics, including Communications, Signal and Train Control PTC developments

7 pproach AAR has an active, structured proc supports its members in communicatio signal Managed through the "Interoperable Operatio and Train Control Working Committee IO&TCWC reports to SOMC

8 0& T rking Committee Mis. n. Provide oversight for four subo nate task forces. Resolve requirements and technical is. Provide direction for the development of an configuration management for AAR standar. Areas of responsibility include: FRA and FCC rulemaking, radio frequency coordination, locomotive and wayside electronics and industry standards for train control

9 10&. Chaired by Mike Cantrell ofc Major initiatives: Completed purchase of 50 KHz of specf m at 220 MHz for primary use with RCL syste - Developing requirements for Technology Driven Operations Technology coordination to improve safety and productivity

10 Task. Wireless Communications Kemp UP covers:. ed by Ed - Frequency coordination managed at TCI - Coordination/action with FCC rulemakin g. VHF "refarming - Responsible for standards such as: RCL common air interface for 220 MHz End of train communications Radio Communications (A TCS "specification 200"

11 Task. Signal and Train Control Brian Sykes NS covers: - Interaction with FRA on rules as they signal and train control - Provide oversight for AAR proj ects to sup art industry s signal related projects for exampl Recently completed Power System and Railroad Electromagnetic Compatibility Handbook worke with AREMA and the proj ect sponsor the Electric Power Research Institute

12 Task Automatic Equipment Identific chaired by Fred Meek UP covers: - Monitors railroad AEI tagging perform. Collects data on tagging performance and recommends actions to maintain overall performance and improvement - currently abou 99. Works to pursue improvements in tagging technology for industry

13 Task Railway Electronics - Chaire Jarrett CSX covers: Lynn - Provides oversight in support of devel men and maintenance of electronics standards specifications (includes those in wireless communications and train control) - Coordinates standards development and configuration management with other AAR committees and task forces
