Abstract:

The Volpe Center is supporting the Federal Railroad Administration in performing rail passenger equipment

crashworthiness research. The overall objective of this research is to develop strategies for improving structural crashworthiness

and occupant protection. A field study of passenger train accidents is being conducted to investigate the causal mechanisms of

how train occupants are injured during accidents. The investigation of the April 23, 2002 collision in Placentia, CA has

motivated the development of occupant protection strategies. This process began with two simulation models: a collision

dynamics model and an occupant response model. These simulations suggested that impact with workstation tables brought

about fatal thoracic and abdominal injuries in two occupants. Workstation tables that limit and distribute the abdominal loads are

currently under investigation through modeling and full-scale testing with advanced anthropomorphic test devices.
