Abstract:On June 28, 2016, the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) Office of Research, Development and Technology performed a dynamic impact test of a fuel tank from a Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) rail vehicle with support from the Department of Transportation’s John A. Volpe National Transportation System Center. The test was performed at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, CO. An impact vehicle weighing approximately 14,000 pounds and equipped with a 12-inch by 12-inch impactor head, struck the bottom surface of a DMU fuel tank mounted vertically on an impact wall.
