Component Failures

Air suspensions are a commonly used component of modern transit and passenger vehicle suspensions. New vehicle performance specifications usually require testing and analyses with the air suspension inflated and also deflated. However, the tests and analyses usually do not include the dynamic effects that may occur at the instant of deflation. Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) recently investigated a revenue service flange climb derailment for a large North American transit system. The derailment occurred on the diverging route of a No. 10 turnout. Initial investigation by the transit system did not identify any track or equipment that showed significant deviations from their normal practices; no obvious cause for the derailment was identified, although the air suspension had been deflated after the derailment. To assist in determining potential contributing factors for the derailment, TTCI conducted NUCARS® simulations of the car negotiating the turnout, using these parameters: • Vehicle dynamic response to local track geometry conditions, including motions of the air suspension; • Sudden deflation of the air suspension; • Wheel and rail profiles. This paper presents the methods used to represent sudden component failures in the NUCARS simulations, including the air suspension deflation. The simulation results show how the sudden deflation of the air suspension combined with local track geometry and wheel/rail contact conditions could contribute to a flange climb derailment.

Halogen Lamps

This work contains analysis of characteristics of automobile lamps by Philips, KOITO, ETI flip chip LEDs, Osram, General Electric (GE), Gtinthebox, OSLAMPledbulbs with H1, H4, H7, H11 caps: luminous flux, luminous efficacy, correlated colour temperature. Characteristics of the studied samples are analysed before the operation of the lamps. The analysis of the calculation results allows us to make a conclusion that the values of correlated colour temperature of halogen lamps are close to the parameters declared by manufacturers. The analysis of the study results has shown that, based on actual values of correlated colour temperature, it is not advisable to use LED lamps in unfavourable weather conditions (such as rain, fog, snow). The results of the study demonstrate that there is a slight dispersion of actual values of luminous flux of halogen lamps by different manufacturers. Maximum variation between values of luminous flux of different lamps does not exceed 14 %. The analysis of the measurement results has shown that actual values of luminous flux of all halogen lamps comply with the mandatory rules specified in the UN/ECE Regulation No. 37 and luminous flux of LED lamps exceeds maximum allowable value by more than 8 %. Luminous efficacy of LED lamps is higher than that of halogen lamps: more than 82 lm/W and lower power consumption. The results of the measurements have shown that power consumption of a LED automobile lamp is lower than that of similar halogen lamps by 3 times and their luminous efficacy is higher by 5 times.

Comprehensive Study

ABSTRACT This work presents a comprehensive study of the performance of winter tires on snow, ice, and asphalt. A set of 77 different winter tires were carefully selected for the study. Of these, 27 were new and 50 were worn from real traffic use. All three tire types for winter conditions (Nordic, European, and studded) were represented. All tires have been tested using a mobile tire-testing device for snow and asphalt and using a stationary tire-testing facility for ice. Both devices recorded the tire forces and motions, enabling a close to complete stationary characterization of the tires. In addition, 42 of the tires were tested on a passenger car, where brake performance was evaluated for the three different road conditions. This enables a comparative study of performance between tire types and wear for various winter road conditions. The results suggest that the recorded data represent real vehicle performance. Some conclusions from the measurements are that the effect of wear is consistent between the tire groups and that the performance degradation is most noticeable on studded tires on ice and on European tires on snow.
