TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 71, Track-Related Research, Vol. 5: Flange Climb Derailment Criteria and Wheel/Rail Profile Management and Maintenance Guidelines for Transit Operations examines flange climb derailment criteria for transit vehicles that include lateral-to-vertical ratio limits and a corresponding flange-climb-distance limit. The report also includes guidance to transit agencies on wheel and rail maintenance practices.
