This paper provides an overview of several pieces of research aimed at identifying improvements to seat and table design to minimise passenger injuries. Accident analysis, sled testing with crash test dummies, and computer modelling concluded that neither two-point lap belts as used in commercial aviation and three-point lap and diagonal belts as used in cars should be used in rail vehicles as they would usually increase passenger injuries. Similar analysis led to the development of a concept crashworthy table design that was modelled and found to be more optimal in terms of predicted injury levels.
