The first part of the document contains the research activities presented by the Calspan Corporation, Boeing Vertol Company, and Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute; transit authority experience by Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) of New York, Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), and New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA); and the manufacturing industry experience by the Budd Company, Franco-Belge (France), and Boeing Vertol. The second part contains the proceedings from the two workshops, namely, crashworthiness and rail car design and test and evaluation; and the concluding remarks from the Office of Safety and Product Qualification (UMTA), and from the Transit Systems Branch (TSC). The major recommendations from the group fall into two categories: (1) The need for (industry-wide) vehicle design engineering guidelines including structural criteria and passenger compartment criteria; and (2) The need for validating these criteria through programs of test and evaluation.
