This report describes the research and development undertaken in this Transit IDEA project to determine the applicability of a new sleeved column energy absorber system for improving crashworthiness of rail transit vehicles. The new technology is an efficient energy absorber with the potential for low weight, low cost, and easy replacement at low impact speeds using materials commonly employed in light rail transit vehicle construction.
