- Description
- In accordance with the authority contained in FAR 6.302.1, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with DecisionTek, LLC of Rockville, Maryland for Phase III follow-on work to supplement Generalized Train Movement Simulator (GTMS) software developed previously by the firm. Under Phase III, the GTMS software will be augmented to be a comprehensive stand along tool designed to support analyses of safety regulatory requirements with particular emphasis on exposure to accident risk associated with the implementation of Positive Train Control (PTC) systems. The Phase III GTMS will introduce failure probabilities, including the probability of human error, to the Phase II GTMS platform. The augmented system will simulate railroad safe operations, accidents, and rare events over a 20-year time horizon and generate a full set of operational and safety metrics including probability density functions. Statistical methods to be utilized will generate robust results and optimize computer run times. This is not a competitive acquisition and no written solicitation is available.
