Abstract:

This paper focuses on technical information to help support

development of alternative static requirements for the train-to-train

collision scenario. The goal of the static requirements is to

provide the same level of crashworthiness as the dynamic

requirements under discussion by the NGFT TAG. Tender

features capable of providing the desired level of performance

are proposed. These features have been selected such that a

tender with these features would be crashworthy-compatible

with a wide range of new and existing locomotive structural

designs.
