Development of Analytic Fire Models

This report describes the progress from June 17, 1974 to September 16, 1974, in a project to develop analytic models of pool fires and torch fires.

Characterization of Drawgear Systems During Coupler Angling

This reference manual on lateral force characteristics of various types of draft gears and couplers under draft and buff loads during angling was developed as part of the Track-Train Dynamics Program. Data from these tests can be used in several TTD mathematical models, particularly the Lateral...

Assessment of Design Tools and Criteria for Urban Rail Track Structures: Volume II. At-Grade Slab Track

The development of techniques and criteria for track design is an important part of the Rail Supporting Technology Program that is being managed for the Urban Mass Transportation Administration by the Transportation Systems Center (TSC). This report presents the results of a critical review of...

Assessment of Design Tools and Criteria for Urban Rail Track Structures: Volume I. At-Grade Tie-Ballast Track

A Methodology for Evaluating the Economic Impacts of Applying Railroad Safety Standards: Volume I

This report presents a methodology for evaluating the economic impacts of applying railroad safety standards. The scope is considered broad enough to permit evaluation of all the safety standards thus far proposed by the Federal Railroad Administration and to allow for detailed analysis of...

Cooperative Research Effort Among Railroads, Railroad Associations, Industry and Government

This 11th Annual Railroad Engineering Conference, now sponsored by the Federal Railroad Administration, had as its purpose: To provide a forum for parties interested in the promotion, well-being and progress of the free system of transport by rail to discuss the engineering aspects of railway...

Track Train Dynamics Guidelines for: Train Handling, Train Makeup, Track & Structure, Engineer Education

This manual was prepared as an immediate aid in improving freight train performance. It has five sections: Definitions and Functions of Equipment; Train Handling; Train Makeup; Track and Structure; Engineer Education. These results are based on parametric study using validated analytical models...

Track Geometry Survey Device for LIM Research Vehicle Test Track

A track survey device was designed, built and operated to measure the geometry of the FRA Linear Induction Motor Test Track at Pueblo, Colorado. A laser beam is used for the measurement of profile and alignment; an electronic level for the measurement of superrelation and mechanical sensors for...

Ride Roughness Tests: Cleveland Transit System, September 1973

[From the Introduction] The Cleveland Transit System (CTS) has undertaken an UMTA- sponsored program to evaluate the use of alternating current traction motors on rapid transit vehicles. WABCO, Inc.; under contract to CTS, has retro-fitted three vehicles of the CTS fleet with 600 volt DC to AC...

Railroad Research Information Service Special Bibliography: Safety-Related Technology

This book contains over 1,900 abstracts of journal articles and research reports provided to RRIS by the Federal Railroad Administration. These abstracts are primarily in the subject areas of Track Structure, Train-Track Dynamics, and Rail Vehicles and Components. The abstracts are arranged...
