Tests have been conducted on Amtrak's traditional passenger seat to evaluate its performance under static and dynamic loading conditions. Quasi-static tests have been conducted to establish the load-deflection characteristics of the seat. Dynamic tests of selected collision conditions have also been conducted with instrumented Hybrid III dummies to evaluate the collision performance of the seat and to verify the analytic simulation tools. Collision performance is evaluated in terms of the seat's ability to remain fastened at all attachment points, and to limit the forces and decelerations experienced by the instrumented dummy. This report describes the results of the crashworthiness testing of Amtrak's traditional seats.
