TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Train Crashworthiness and Its Impact on Society JO - International journal of crashworthiness A1 - Brell, E A1 - Van Erp, G A1 - Snook, Curtis SP - 419 EP - 432 VL - 4 IS - 4 N2 - In an environment where resources are scarce, decisions to spend more on safety or risk reduction need to be made on a rational basis. The assessment of such a situation must reflect the impact on society as a whole. When death and injury are involved the assessment, hence becomes very complicated. This paper discusses how societal cost models can assist in making these difficult decisions and an example is analysed based on train crashworthiness.
