Field demonstrations of two prototype high-speed tribometers

摘要

Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI), a subsidiary of the Association of American Railroads (AAR), operated two high-speed tribometer (HST) prototypes on five revenue railroad sites to evaluate their ability to collect friction data inthe field. TTCI initially tested these prototypes for basic operating, safety, and data collection performance under closed loop conditions at the Federal Railroad Administration's Transportation Technology Center (TTC); Pueblo, Colorado.
