AREMA publishes recommended practices in nine separate documents. [2] Manual for Railway Engineering, Communications and Signals Manual, Practical Guide to Railway Engineering, and the Bridge inspection Handbook are four of AREMA's prime publications.
March: AREMA Committee 37 approves the AREMA Manual parts. [2] May: Status of the demonstration is presented at the Institution of Railway Signal Engineers North American Section Annual General Meeting in Grapevine, Texas. [2] August: Basic demonstration system is operational.
Highway designs in the US are subject to the AASHTO specifications, [4] [6] but the text does not contain specific procedures and recommendations. [2] Railway bridges are built according to the "Manual for Railway Engineering" [12] published by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA).
Railway engineering is a multi-faceted engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction and operation of all types of rail transport systems. It encompasses a wide range of engineering disciplines, including civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and production engineering.
However, these approximation formulas are still contained in practically all standard railway engineering textbooks. For the US, AREMA American Railway Engineering ..., PDF, p.57 claims that curve resistance is 0.04% per degree of curvature (or 8 lbf/ton or 4 kgf/tonne). Hay's textbook also claims it is independent of superelevation. [3]

There are two types of electrical slide fences in operation, as described in section 5.1.12 of the AREMA C&S Manual. [2]One type of electrical slide fence consists of a series of parallel conductive wires strung about 8 inches (20 cm) apart on poles that create a fence parallel to the rails.
The American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) describes positive train control systems as having these primary functions: Train separation or collision avoidance; Line speed enforcement; Temporary speed restriction enforcement; Rail worker wayside safety; Blind spot monitoring.
