EFFECTIVENESS OFALTERNATIVE RAILPASSENGEREQUIPMENT CRASHWORTHINESS STRATEGIES

Crashworthiness strategies, whichinclude crash energy management (CEM),pushback couplers, andpush/pull operation, areevaluated andcompared under specific collision conditions. Comparisons ofthree strategies areevaluated in this paper: - Pushversus PullOperation (CabCarLedversus
