Abstract:A full-scale impact test was performed April 4, 2000, at the Federal Railroad Administration's Transportation Technology Center near Pueblo, Colorado by Transportation Technology Center, Inc., a subsidiary of the Association of American Railroads. The test was performed using two Budd Company Pioneer-type commuter passenger cars coupled together. The purpose of the test was to measure strains, accelerations, and displacements during the impact and validate the computational and kinematic models of the vehicle impacting a rigid barrier. The test also showed the influence of the lead car on the secondary collision environment of the trailing car.
