LRV Collision Safety Improvements
| 项目名称： | LRV Collision Safety Improvements |
| 摘要： | The objective is to develop a novel segmented bumper design with different energy absorbing characteristics for frontal and corner impacts. This retrofit design will also utilize an improved geometric profile making the front-end less aggressive to automobiles and pedestrians and reduce the light rail vehicle (LRV) derailment potential in these impacts. The intent of this research project is to develop an "active" bumper system that can be retrofitted into existing fleet of LRVs that will minimize injuries and fatalities resulting from impacts with automobiles and pedestrians, but still prevent derailment of the LRVs. |
