We provide analysis of accidents involving freight, passenger, commuter, industrial, and excursion 

trains on main line, spur, and insulated tracks, at grade crossings and at stations, in railroad and 

industrial yards.

Using a combination of physics-based analysis, computer simulation tools, and event recorder 

analysis, issues we can address include:

	Train Speed and Braking Distance		Heavy Grade Operations
	Event Recorder Data Playback and Analysis		Derailment Investigation
	Train Braking System Design and Operation		Time-Position Studies
	Human Factors and Perception-Reaction Time		Slack and Impact Forces
	Collision Avoidance and What-If Scenarios		Train Handling Dynamics
	Relevant Federal Laws and Industry Standards
