The goal of the Federal Railroad Administrations (FRA) rail equipment crashworthiness research is to develop and evaluate practical concepts for increasing survivability in passenger train accidents. Alternative strategies for increased safety are first evaluated for potential effectiveness. For strategies that appear promising, designs are developed. Test articles are built and then tested. The tests confirm the design performance. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2008-109917.
