Title: Design and Evaluation of a
Robust Manual Locomotive Operating
Mode.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0623.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is
to design and evaluate a prototype
locomotive operating mode that allows
an engineer to ‘‘manually’’ control a
train by providing a desired speed target
while the control system determines the
throttle notch changes required. This
research addresses DOT’s safety
strategic goal. Information collected
from this research will be used by
researchers and equipment designers to
evaluate the merit of a prototype display
and control configuration maximizing
the use of both automation and human
capabilities. The information will also
assist the Federal government in
recommending display design standards
to the rail industry for future displays
and the results may help design future
displays and controls for locomotives.
This ICR, which was previously
Number of
respondents
approved by OMB, will be extended as
the study was not completed by the
anticipated completion date.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a current information
collection.
Affected Public: Railroad Engineers,
College Student Volunteers.
Respondent Universe: 20 Engineers/
10 Volunteers.

* Per the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2019, (53–4011) Locomotive Engineers, the median
hourly wage is $32.26 per hour. The minimum wage, as of September 2020, for Massachusetts is $12.00 per hour. Therefore, the cost would be
$32.26 x 181.34 hours = $5,850.03 and $12.00 x 90.67 hours = 1,088.04 for a total of $6,938.07. This is an estimated cost. The actual cost will
vary based upon current locomotive engineer wages.
Total Estimated Annual Responses:
90.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 272.
