Software Issues Delay NJ Transit Positive Train Control
Software issues are being blamed for the latest delay by NJ Transit to implement a $302-million positive train control (PTC) system.
Parsons, the agency’s primary PTC contractor, reported that resolving system anomalies has pushed back by five months to next March. the start of revenue service testing. That will leave NJ Transit less than a year to complete hardware and software testing along its 326-mile network and to have its PTC safety plan approved by the Federal Railroad Administration.
