Development of Conventional Cab Car End Structure Designs for Full Scale Testing - Rail Passenger Equipment Impact Tests
The Volpe Center is supporting the Federal Railroad Administration’s full-scale testingprogram to understand and improve rail vehicle crashworthiness. The objective of one of the sets of tests in this programis determining thebehavior of cab car end structures in simulated grade crossing...Validation and Calibration of a Fatigue Assessment Tool for Railroad Work Schedules - Summary Report
This report summarizes the results of a project to demonstrate a method to validate and calibrate a fatigue model. The project examined 30-day work histories of locomotive crews prior to 400 human factors accidents and 1000 nonhuman factors accidents. A biomathematical fatigue model estimated crew...Vibration Characteristics of the Transrapid TR08 Maglev System
