Technologies to track and to locate

Across the aviation, rail, and maritime transport modes, tracking and locating technologies offer ways to improve people’s chances of avoiding or surviving an accident or incident and ensuring they can be found. Regulators and operators in all three modes have responded positively to recommendations from past Transport Accident Investigation Commission inquiries where life-saving tracking and locating technologies have been a factor. We continue to encourage the use of advanced tracking and locating devices, and for regulation in some circumstances.
