ONTRACK accepts this recommendation, and considers that it will be satisfied through the development and implementation of Project Kupe. This project will see Global Positioning System (GPS) date for all locomotive and other self propelled rail vehicles being available to National Train Control.
Project Kupe Phase 1 has been approved for implementation. Installation of ONTRACK infrastructure to support the transmission and display of GPS position information will be completed by the 3rd quarter of 2006. The installation of GPS receivers on Toll’s rail vehicles and ONTRACK’s hi-rail vehicles is expected to take two to three years.
