摘要

Approximately one out of every four railroad freight cars in North America is a tank car, according to the Association of American Railroads. Each year, these cars transport roughly 2 million shipments of hazardous materials (hazmat), carrying goods that are essential to North America's economy, public health and quality of life. Railroad safety is the key to making it all work. Rail is recognized as the safest mode of transportation for moving bulk shipments of hazardous materials. Nevertheless, a train accident involving a hazmat release from a tank car can result in significant property and environmental damage, possible evacuation of nearby residents, and injuries or fatalities due to chemical exposure. The severity of some recent train accidents involving hazmat releases has raised concerns about the crashworthiness of railroad tank cars under accident loading conditions. To meet this ongoing challenge, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Office of Research, Development and Technology (RD&T) has established a hazmat and tank car research program designed to understand, evaluate and make recommendations to reduce the risk of an unintended hazmat release.
