This report summarizes the proceedings of the Midyear Meeting of the Transportation Research Board's (TRB) Railroad Operational Safety Subcommittee. The primary purpose of this 2002 Midyear Meeting was for key stakeholders to have an opportunity to discuss the most significant human factors-related research areas facing the railroad enterprise. At the first formal subcommittee meeting held during the TRB Annual Meeting in January 2000, attendees were asked to select and rank the top human factors-related research areas in which they and their organizations were most interested. This 2002 meeting was designed, in part, to address in detail the three highest ranking topics. The two goals of this meeting were to develop and rank research problem statements (RPSs) and to bring together national and international members of the rail transportation enterprise to discuss three major topics believed critical to railroad operational safety: Fatigue and vigilance, safety culture, and the impact of advanced technology on railroad operational safety.
