• Abstract:
  The single car test of multi-level equipment described in ; this paper was designed to help evaluate the crashworthiness of ; a multi-level car in a controlled collision. The data collected ; from this test will be used to refine engineering models. The ; knowledge gained from this test will be used to evaluate the ; behavior of a consist of multi-level equipment in a manner ; similar to the work performed on single level equipment.
