Abstract:

Advancements in the design of rail cars can

potentially prevent the structural collapse of

space occupied by a cab car engineer

during a train collision. With adequate

survival space maintained, the next

crashworthiness objective is to minimize the

consequences of any resulting secondary

impact between the engineer and the control

stand. A conceptual Engineer Protection

System (EPS) has been developed to meet

these design objectives and requirements,

using finite element analyses and

component-level tests [1]. The system was

fabricated and dynamically tested using an

instrumented Hybrid III 95th percentile male

anthropomorphic test device (ATD).
