A Crash Energy Management (CEM) cab car crush zone design has been developed for retrofit onto an existing Budd M1 cab car. This design is to be used in the upcoming fullscale train-to-train test of a CEM consist impacting a standing freight consist of comparable weight. The cab car crush zone design is based upon the coach car crush zone design that has been previously developed and tested. The integrated system was developed after existing national and international CEM systems were reviewed. A detailed set of design requirements was then drafted, and preliminary designs of sub-assemblies were developed. The preliminary designs were analyzed using detailed large deformation finite element software. Performance of the cab car crush zone under ideal and non-ideal loading conditions was analyzed prior to development of the final design.
