Welcome to the
Florida Transit Safety and Operations Network (FTSON)
The purpose is to provide resources and a platform for discussion of safety and operational challenges, opportunities, and initiatives impacting public transportation providers in Florida.
This document explores a track inspection method known as performance based track geometry, and explores the potential for this method to be applied in transit to optimize maintenance and ride quality. View Report
This document explores ride quality literature, vehicle characterization and on-track ride quality testing, track geometry measures, and NUCARS’ (a railway multi-body dynamics computer program) modeling and simulation capabilities. View Report
