Parametric Railway Line Capacity Modeling

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is seeking a contractor to develop a Parametric Railway Line Capacity Model (PRLCM). The model will be used to analyze railroad operations and provide insights for project feasibility studies, regional intercity passenger rail planning, and infrastructure development. The contractor will be responsible for developing a validated, reproducible model, associated documentation, and code that the Government can independently develop. The project will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price contract with a base period of 18 months. • The contractor will develop a parametric capacity model that can be used to analyze railroad operations. • The model will be validated using real-world operations data. • The contractor will provide documentation and code for the model. • The Government will have the right to use and modify the model. • The contractor will be responsible for ensuring the security and integrity of Government data.
