The focus of this paper is to study the application of Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) side-load requirements to Low Floor LRVs (LF LRVs). Although the side-load requirements of LRVs are not completely consistent among different transit authorities, an industry pseudo-standard of 40,000 lbs applied over an 8 foot span at the side sill has emerged. In LF LRVs, this standard may not provide the same level of safety as in High Floor LRVs (HF LRVs). In some US automobiles, the bottom of the bumper is higher than the top of the floor in LF LRVs. Given comparable sidewall construction, when a passenger vehicle impacts the side of an LRV, the opportunity for intrusion/override into the passenger compartment in a LF LRV is higher than that in a HF LRV. The popularity of light trucks, SUVs, minivans and other vehicles with high bumper heights further aggravates this situation.
