Workstation Table Engineering Model Design, Development, Fabrication, and Testing
This research effort is focused on providing a workstation table design that will reduce the risk of occupant injuries due to secondary impacts and to compartmentalize the occupants to prevent impacts with other objects and/or passengers seated across from them. The table must be capable of...Assessment of Rail Seat Abrasion Patterns and Environment
Rail seat abrasion (RSA) of concrete ties is manifested by the loss of material under the rail seat area and, in extreme cases, results in loss of rail clip holding power, reverse rail cant, and gauge widening. RSA was measured in several curves on two railroads. The measurements encompass a range...Prepared Remarks for FRA Administrator at The American Road & Transportation Builders Association's 15th Annual Conference
