85 This chapter examines existing guidelines, standards, and decision-making processes associated with current domestic and international trespasser mitigation strategies. Review of Countermeasure Strategy Standards and Guidelines Many of the guidelines and standards apply across multiple trespass prevention strategies; therefore, the strategies are combined into the following categories: • Access Control Engineering Strategies -- fencing, channelization, and barriers; landscaping; anti-trespass guard panels; and PSDs • Other Engineering Strategies -- surveillance and detection; lighting; approaching train alerts; and track retrieval devices • Education, Engagement, and Enforcement Strategies Access Control Engineering Strategies FRA's High-Security Fencing for Rail Right-of-Way Applications: Current Use and Best Practices recommends analyzing high-security fencing costs, developing a trespass hazard analysis framework, and conducting fencing effectiveness studies for successful implementation of highsecurity fencing (21)
