Rail Transit Passenger Protection
| 项目名称： | Rail Transit Passenger Protection |
| 摘要： | This cooperative agreement supports the research objective of Wichita State University to identify the injury mechanisms to light rail vehicle (LRV) passengers, and to propose future areas of research that will lay the foundations necessary to generate transit rail vehicle interior design guidelines that enhance the level of safety to passengers during collisions. Statistically, light rail systems have higher injury rates on a per passenger-mile basis than heavy rail and commuter rail, because light rail transit systems in most cities operate on city streets with at-grade crossings. Occupant safety is dependent on the configuration and severity of the accident, as well as the degree of crashworthiness engineered in the overall vehicle design. |
