Abstract:

This study addressed the feasibility of incorporating complete anticlimbing systems into both passenger and freight locomotives. Complete systems include pushback couplers, vertically interlocking anticlimber elements, and zones specifically designed to absorb the collision energy. The project included the development of specifications for the systems, review of existing systems and generation of concepts. Two complete systems were developed, one for a freight locomotive and one for a passenger cab car. These systems were evaluated using both finite element and collision dynamics analyses. A plan to further develop and test the systems is also presented.
