Investigations are made into issues affecting rail passenger safety in intercity and commuter rail service. The objectives of the study were to identify important safety issues that need resolution, to describe the means for resolving these issues, and to describe further research that is critically needed. Special attention was given to those issues highlighted by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in recent recommendations. The important safety issues identified are briefly described as communications, train control systems, vehicle crashworthiness, vehicle interior design, emergency egress and lighting, equipment maintenance and inspection, and employee training.
