| Description: | The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requests proposals from public entities that will ultimately result in the award of one or more cooperative agreements to improve passenger protection in rail transit vehicle collisions and identify interior feature designs or configurations that minimize passenger injuries in secondary impact scenarios. (Secondary impact refers to an occupant striking part of the vehicle interior surfaces or other occupants during a collision, derailment or sudden stop). FTA seeks applications for research defining the problem of collision-related rail transit passenger injuries and identifying designs or solutions to prevent or mitigate injuries. |
