Summary

As the industry moves toward environmentally-friendly solutions for passenger rail equipment, battery and hydrogen are two common onboard alternative propulsion energy systems being advanced. The hazards and potential mitigations identified in this white paper are specific to such equipment and are intended to guide agencies in performing their project-specific hazard analyses to reduce risk in equipment designs, maintenance and operations.
