Abstract:

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sponsored researchers at the Volpe Center to perform finite element analyses (FEA) of 8g dynamic crash tests using a commuter rail 2-passenger seat design with different sized Hybrid-III anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) including: (1) 50th percentile male (H3-50M), (2) 5th percentile female (H3-5F), and (3) 95th percentile male (H3-95M). The researchers based the simulations on compliance tests (see Figure 1) conducted per the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) safety standard APTA PR-CS-S-016-99 – Passenger Seats in Passenger Rail Cars.
