    The general area of planned activity will involve an independent study 
    to define a performance standard to measure potential entrapment 
    between the moving steps and the stationary skirt panel on escalators. 
    The objectives of the joint venture are to (1) create a concept for 
    developing a performance standard that measures the potential for step-
    skirt entrapment and a viable methodology for measurement and 
    verification of the standard; (2) develop a methodology and tool(s) 
    suitable for field use that will measure the potential of step-skirt 
    entrapment; and (3) perform proof-of-concept experiments to validate 
    the measurement methodology and performance standard.
