199311 – Taylor – Alternative Safe Working (ASW): Development & Operations

The P.T.C. Train Controllers have played a major role in the development of the A.S.W. System. We see it as our future. If we design it correctly, and if we handle the cultural change properly, the system has the potential to provide, not only a better control and management tool for the industry, but a much better work environment for the Train Controller.

The project Implementation Manager is an ex Train Controller, and four other current controllers, including myself, have been heavily involved in all aspects of the development from the initial concept, through development of the Workstation layout, systems procedures, training, trialing, and interface to other management systems.
