The American Public Transportation Association, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and Metrolink cooperated to develop a purchase specification for commuter rail cab cars equiped with crash energy management features.
Crash Energy Management has been defined as a strategy for improved occupant survivability during a collision. Designs using this strategy include sacrificial crush zones at the ends of the cars and other unoccupied spaces.
