RESEARCH FOR OPTIMIZATION OF CABIN STRUCTURAL OF LOCOMOTIVE "D19E INNOVATION" TO IMPROVE SAFETY FOR DRIVERS

Abstract

Nowadays, railway traffic is still an important form of transportation in
travel and freight transport. Millions of people traveled by this type of
transportation every year. Railway safety is a particular concern for the people,
government ministries and agencies. In this article, the following research
content will be presented: Analysis and calculation of collisions between road
vehicles and railway vehicles which cause unsafety for train drivers. Redesigning
of Chinese-made D19E locomotive cabin based on the calculation results of the
cabin’s impact force and deformation. Using ANSYS 18.2 software to optimize
the structure of the AT D19E’s Protection Module. The result is a product with
higher safety for train drivers when a collision occurs between the D19E
locomotive and a road vehicle that has the most reasonable cost.
