Crush load
In the context of transport economics and planning, crush load refers the maximum level of passenger load for a particular vehicle or rail carriage. Passenger loads can be expressed as the ratio of the number of seats to the number of actual passengers. A ratio of 1.0 would mean that all seats are occupied with no standing passengers. A passenger load ratio exceeding 1.5 is generally considered to be crush load.〔 While in crush load, passengers are touching and there is no space for another passenger to enter without causing serious discomfort to the passengers on board.〔Sacramento Regional Transit District. (Glossary of Transit Terms ). Retrieved 8 February 2014.〕 According to Hoel ''et al.'' in ''Transportation Infrastructure Engineering'', operating at crush load increases dwell time (the length of time the transport vehicle remains in the station or stop) and reduces overall vehicle capacity per unit of time.〔Hoel, Lester; Garber, Nicholas; Sadek, Adel (2010). (''Transportation Infrastructure Engineering: A Multimodal Integration, SI Version'' ), p. 177. Cengage Learning. ISBN 0495667897〕
In India, the term "super dense crush load" has been coined by railway officials to describe passenger loads on peak-hour trains operating on the Mumbai Suburban Railway when carriages built for 200 passengers carry over 500, translating to 14–16 people per square metre.〔Bellman, Eric (18 April 2007). ("Super Dense Crush Load" ). ''Wall Street Journal''. Retrieved 8 February 2014.〕
