Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
San Jose State University proposes a multi-university consortium (C-STTAR) to establish a Climate Change and Extreme Events Training and Research (CCEETR) program. The program objective is to conduct research, education, and technology transfer activities to improve the rail network's safety and resilience against extreme events, including climate change.
The applicant will focus on five projects directed at educating the railroad community and evaluating and demonstrating technologies and approaches that show promise for mitigating the consequences of extreme events on railroad operations:
1. Application of emerging technologies to create evaluation and simulation scenarios for railroad personnel training.
2. Creation and delivery of training programs that can be used by freight and passenger railroads to enhance their ability to develop response programs and enhance resiliency.
3. Development of predictive assessment tools to support detection, alert, and warning systems planning, operations, response, and recovery from emergencies and disruptive events.
4. Enhance technology transfer, career pathways, economic and workforce development for minority, small businesses, and underserved communities.
5. Evaluation and demonstration of sensors on mobile and fixed platforms to identify risks for the North American rail network.
