摘要: |
A collision dynamics model of a passenger train-to-passenger train collision has been developed to simulate the potential safety hazards and benefits associated with mixing conventional and crash energy management (CEM) cars within a consist. This paper presents a comparison of estimated injuries and fatalities for seven collision scenarios based upon the variable mix of conventional and CEM cars. Based on the analysis results, recommended car placement when mixing cars within a consist is identified. |
