Harsco’s Protran Technology Unit to Outfit Denver’s Entire Regional Railway Fleet for Enhanced Safety
January 09 2017 - 4:15PM
Harsco’s Protran Technology unit, part of the Harsco Rail division,
announced today a new order to equip the entire Denver, Colorado
regional railway fleet with enhanced safety systems designed and
produced by Protran.
Denver’s Regional Transportation District has selected Protran’s
Roadway Worker Protection System for installation across all 400 of
its train units and supporting track maintenance work crews, while
Protran’s Collision Avoidance System will be installed on the
district’s on-track equipment. RTD Denver provides
transportation to 2.8 million people, spanning 2,400 square miles
in eight counties. Installations are expected to begin in
early 2017 and be completed during the second half of the
year. Terms of the order were not disclosed.
Protran’s Roadway Worker Protection System (RWP) alerts track
maintenance work crews of an approaching train or other railway
vehicle entering their work zone. Protran’s Collision
Avoidance System (CAS) enforces safe operating distances between
railway work equipment, track workers, and restricted areas through
the use of real-time distance measures combined with audio-visual
alerts.
