Abstract:

A specific goal of safety is to reduce the number of injuries that may result from the collision of two trains. In Volume IV, a computer code for the simulated crash of two railcar consists is described. The code is capable of simulating the mechanics of head-on impact of two consists on straight level track. The simulation is limited to two dimensions, namely a vertical plane containing the length of the track. The user can model the individual car components or cars in a complex or as simple a manner as is warranted by the simulation results desired. Although specifically developed for transit cars, the code can also be used to simulate freight trains or intercity passenger trains.
