Abstract:The goal of this project is to assess crew safety of existing locomotive crashworthiness requirements using existing modern freight locomotive crash data analyses and simulation techniques. This project will evaluate the impact of the crashworthiness standards defined in Subpart D of 49 CFR Part 229, and in the AAR S-580 Locomotive Crashworthiness Requirements, on the safety performance of the modern locomotive through a combination of statistical analysis, finite element modeling and simulation, as well as validation tests.
