In 1999 the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) issued new regulations and the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) issued new standards for rail passenger equipment crashworthiness. These new regulations and standards include conventional strength-based requirements for equipment used below 200 kph (125 mph), crash-energy management for equipment used above 200 kph (125 mph), and dynamic sled testing of occupant seats.
