The results of analyses conducted to determine the effectiveness of structural and interior train design strategies in protecting occupants during collisions are presented. Structural design approaches considered include the conventional design approach of requiring a uniform minimum longitudinal strength, and the crash-energy management design approach which provides for sacrifical crush zones in the unoccupied areas of the train. Interior protection strategies considered include occupant restraint and compartmentalization.
