Sample Quote
|
"When considering the containment of passengers within a rail vehicle it is also important to consider the escape and rescue requirements. Increasing the impact integrity of window systems to improve passenger containment will make it more difficult to use windows for escape. The role of the window as a means of containing passengers thus conflicts with its potential role in emergency egress or rescue."
