Virginia Railway Express (VRE) has signed an agreement with Rockwell Collins to implement the company’s ARINC RailwayNetSM service under the scope of meeting the Positive Train Control (PTC) requirements mandated by the Rail Safety Improvement Act. ARINC RailwayNet is a hosted network, messaging and application platform for passenger and freight rail which creates a common communication infrastructure for PTC solutions.
“ARINC RailwayNet provides the network connections and office applications required to exchange critical information among Class I railroads and their partner short line and commuter railways. Through RailwayNet, Rockwell Collins is helping VRE meet the PTC mandate efficiently, cost-effectively and securely,” said Ken Schreder, vice president, Strategic Programs and Surface Transportation Systems for Rockwell Collins.
