Abstract:

This paper gives an overview of the in-line full-scale impact tests conducted by the Federal

Railroad Administration and discusses a strategy for preventing override between colliding

equipment. Override of the impacting equipment during a passenger train collision is often

associated with substantial loss-of-occupant volume and consequent fatality. The fullscale

impact tests have been used to explore the causes of override and confirm the

effectiveness of the strategy for preventing override.
