The bibliography provides a comprehensive review of published literature concerning rail transit safety and includes 186 annotated entries. The report covers domestic and foreign material on rail transit safety and related safety research and development. The Bibliography is concerned with safety aspects of the design and functioning of operating transit systems. Among the topics covered are train accidents (collisions, crashworthiness, derailments, and fires); evacuations; patron safety on and off trains; trespassers; and safety management. Because of its operational emphasis, the scope of this Bibliography does not include documents which deal exclusively with safety practices during facility construction, security against crime, or commuter rail.
