Railroad Accidents

Because of the size and speed of trains, railroad accidents can be more severe than passenger vehicle accidents. Understanding how or why an accident occurred can be a challenging scientific process. In addition to collecting evidence and data, our engineers analyze all the issues of a case, making sure our clients understand the underlying causes and countermeasures.

We are capable of real-time analysis, two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging, calculus-based calculations, and the implementation of crush energy, momentum, rotational, and impulse-based methodologies.

Our railroad accident reconstruction services include the following:

• Federal Railroad Administration guidelines
• Traditional calculations
• Mechanical components
• Analysis of human factors
• Understanding train and vehicle types
• Transportation engineering factors
• Traffic signal analysis
