• 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.
