• Abstract:
  The Federal Railroad Administration contracted Sandia National Laboratories to review the risks introduced specifically through human interactions within hydrogen rail refueling and maintenance activities and present design and regulatory recommendations for future system development and implementation. The team developed 50 human factor design guidelines through analysis of human risk factors. This research was conducted between 2021 and 2024 at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM.
