U04 Marine Containers on Chassis: Safety Issues 

 < back to projects index

This project is to investigate safety-related problems involving chassis used for transporting marine containers on US highways. In recent years, much concern has arisen regarding the safety implications of allegedly substandard container chassis maintenance and inspection practices. This recognition is reflected in the recent effort to pass federal legislation mandating more effective container chassis inspection.
