1、232 49 CFR Ch. II (10110 Edition) Pt. 219 evaluation summary of the factors consid-ered and shall provide the railroad with agreed upon parameters by which the cam-era-assisted remote control operation may continue in operation if the factors required for suitability change; thus, any change in the
2、factors considered by the diagnostic team outside of the acceptable parameters shall require the railroad to receive a revised evaluation approval from a diagnostic team before continuing any such operation. In ad-dition, any of the Federal, State, or local governmental authorities may trigger re-vi
3、ew of a prior evaluation approval at any time there is a question of the suitability of the operation. It is possible that, of the re-quirements listed below, requirements num-bered 2, 4, 5, and 6 would be unnecessary at highway-rail grade crossings or yard access crossings equipped with approved su
4、pple-mental safety devices (see 49 CFR part 222, app. A) that prevent motorists from driving around lowered gates; under such cir-cumstances, the diagnostic team shall make such determinations. If a Crossing Diag-nostic Team, as described in this paragraph, evaluated a crossing for the factors descr
5、ibed herein, prior to April 14, 2008, another diag-nostic team evaluation is not required to comply with this rule; however, the require-ments listed below shall still apply to any such remotely controlled movements over that crossing. 2. Camera-assisted remote control loco-motive operations shall o
6、nly be permitted at crossings equipped with flashing lights, gates, and constant warning time train de-tection systems where appropriate, based on train speeds. 3. A crewmember or other qualified em-ployee shall not view the monitor in place of the remote control operator, as is permitted for other
7、shoving or pushing movements. See 218.99(b)(3). For purposes of remote control locomotive operations with camera/monitor setups to protect the point at highway-rail grade crossings, pedestrian crossings, and yard access crossings, the remote control op-erator controlling the movement shall view the
8、monitor during such operations. 4. The cameras shall be arranged to give the remote control locomotive operator con-trolling the movement a view of the rail ap-proaches to the crossing from each direction so that the operator can accurately judge the end of the movements proximity to the crossing. 5
9、. The cameras shall be arranged to give the remote control locomotive operator a clear view to determine the speed and driver behavior (e.g., driving erratically) of any ap-proaching motor vehicles. 6. Either the camera resolution shall be sufficient to determine whether the flashing lights and gate
10、s are working as intended or the crossing shall be equipped with a remote health monitoring system that is capable of notifying the remote control locomotive op-erator immediately if the flashing lights and gates are not working as intended. 7. The railroad shall notify the Associate Administrator f
11、or Safety in writing when this type of protection has been installed and activated at a crossing. III. CONCLUSION The technology used to aid point protec-tion will undoubtedly develop and improve over time. FRA encourages the use and de-velopment of this technology as is evidenced by the option in t
12、his rule to utilize such technology. Meanwhile, as a regulating body, FRA cannot determine whether a new tech-nology to aid point protection provides an equivalent level of protection to that of a di-rect visual determination unless we are made aware of the new technology. Con-sequently, aside from
13、the camera/monitor setups described in this appendix, each rail-road that intends to implement a technology used to aid point protection shall notify the Associate Administrator for Safety in writ-ing of the technology to be used prior to im-plementation. 73 FR 8504, Feb. 13, 2008 PART 219CONTROL OF
