Capabilities

• Assesses the dynamic performance of ground transportation vehicles
• Applies materials engineering technologies to predict transportation system component behavior in in-service environments and improve component serviceability
• Analyzes data from accident and incident reports, inspections, tests, and other sources to identify causes and propose solutions that will prevent or mitigate hazards
• Plans, manages, implements and interprets analytic and experimental investigations of vehicles and guideway structures, dynamics, and materials behavior.
• Participates in industry/government committees and task forces to further the goals of improved vehicle safety and serviceability.
