Automatic Train Control (ATC) has gained wide acceptance and is presently used in all aspects of rapid rail operations. The report examines the impact of extreme environmental conditions and ATC failures on rapid rail system safety and makes recommendations to lessen their impact. The environmental conditions covered in the report are: high winds; floods; lightning; heavy ice and snow; sub-freezing temperatures. Fires and emergency evacuation procedures were analyzed in the investigation and recommendations were developed to lessen the consequences of fires and to expedite passenger evacuation procedures. Overloading, a situation frequently faced by rapid rail transit properties, was also examined to determine its impact on train safety and operation.
