Chicago’s commuter rail operator Metra selected Parsons to install Positive Train Control (PTC) technology on its commuter rail trains. This contract is Metra’s biggest expenditure to date for installing PTC.
As prime contractor, Parsons will work with Metra to install an Interoperable Electronic Train Management System that will be interoperable with 12 railways, integrating the complex system of locomotive mounted Global Positioning System devices, radios, trackside antennas, and computers. The Federal Railroad Administration has recognized that Chicago is the most complicated application of PTC in the country.
