New Journal Publication!

Excited to announce that TRAIN PhD student Jiaxi Zhao and Prof. Dick have recently published a new research paper in the Accident Analysis & Prevention academic journal! This paper is related to the study comparing unit and manifest train derailment risk funded by the Federal Railroad Administration and led by our collaborators at Rutgers University.

The reference and DOI link for the paper is as follows:

Kang, D., J. Zhao, C.T. Dick, X. Liu, Z. Bian, S.W. Kirkpatrick and C-Y Lin. 2023. Probabilistic risk analysis of unit trains versus manifest trains for transporting hazardous materials. Accident Analysis & Prevention. 181(3): 106950. doi: 10.1016/j.aap.2022.106950.
