Locomotive cab design. As the cab is the daily workplace of the Train Driver, the facilities offered are of great importance to the general well-being of train drivers. INTRODUCTION The construction and design of the train driving cab is one of the factors highly influencing the performance of the train driver in matters related to safety. The scope of this effort included all locomotive engineer-related controls and displays for freight train operation. Until the design of the boiler and firebox (including clothing) is finalised, we cannot complete the design of the front of the cab floor and the profile of the cab spectacle plates. The broad nose occupies the entire width of the locomotive, and typically has an access door on the front of the nose. This is a status report on the development of a locomotive cab design predicated on human and other engineering disciplines which can lead to specifications for a cab that is in concert with operational and safety considerations. Substantial engineering analysis was devoted to the commended des gn; this included disciplines of c st, protection, component and subsystem reliability, and system safety analysis. The cab, or crew or driver's compartment of a diesel or electric locomotive will usually be found either inside a cabin attached to a hood unit or cowl unit locomotive, or forming one of the structural elements of a cab unit locomotive. This report studies the impact of these changes on the interface of the cab with the rest of the locomotive, the required structure, the reliability, the development costs, and the cost of introduction to the operating locomotive fleet. The reports in this series bear the general title: Locomotive Cab Design Development. References 1 E.

The recommended design is the result of APTA Commuter Rail Executive Committee Abstract: This standard contains requirements and recommendations for the procurement, design, strength and testing of Crew Cab Seating for use in commuter rail. S. result of a detailed human factors engineering analysis of these requirements according to state-of-the-art criteria and system design practices. com Current human factors guidelines for the evaluation of the design of locomotive cabs can be divided into two broad themes: working conditions and the incorporation of information technology. Finally, on the basis of the evaluation and test to date, some reliminary recomendations can be made on modifying the locomotive cab design described in Report No. 0339-10017-1, Locomotive Cab Design Development , Volume II, A comfort cab is a design found on most modern North American diesel locomotives, and some export models. Specifications are included for the design being recommended as a nationally acceptable crew station for line haul freight locomotives. The development, sponsored by Transportation Systems Center, is based on a list of functional requirements derived from locomotive systems management tasks and train This report presents an analysis of the line haul freight engineer's working and living environment, the resultant locomotive cab design and design alternatives. The analysis is based on a delineation of functional requirements found in current line haul operations together with those additional requirements which could arise during the next 10-15 years. eruhzx xxoiz gpbjvw gtmhh gyvdo fnlr aqbjm uyzrb heic wxe
