Description:

Positive train control (PTC) is a system of functional requirements for monitoring and controlling train movements as an attempt to provide increased safety. Positive Train Control (PTC) is GPS-based safety technology capable of preventing train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, unauthorized incursion into work zones and train movement through switches left in the wrong position. PTC monitors and, if necessary, controls train movement in the event of human error. PTC may also bring trains to a safe stop in the event of a natural disaster.

Verify message flow between the systems using in-house viewer –tool (XML –EMP).

Modify existing test cases and create new test cases along with the identification of the test data and per new requirements demands.

Ability to read BOS logs and troubleshoot during testing efforts

Knowledge of tools used for debugging and viewing OB logs

Ability to utilize UTCS to create trains, bulletins, etc. for testing efforts (see ICD for Message List)
