Abstract:

Occupied volume integrity (OVI) refers to a ; passenger railcar’s ability to preserve space for ; passengers and crew during an accident. The ; Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) Office ; of Research and Development (R&D) is ; sponsoring research investigating OVI. The ; results of a series of tests have been published ; in an FRA Report 1. This research forms the ; basis for establishing alternative OVI evaluation ; procedures. The alternative procedures permit ; an analysis to be validated with data from an ; elastic test. The validated analysis may then be ; used to extrapolate the behavior of the subject ; car under destructive load conditions, without ; conducting companion destructive testing.
