BRAKING SHOCK TEST OF PASSENGER- AND FREIGHT-CARS MIXED TRAIN

According to the existing regulation on train operation of the Japanese National Railways, cut-off of the supplementary auxiliary air reservoirs of passenger cars is required in a mixed composition of train, when six or more freight cars are included in the train, in order to alleviate the difference of brake effects. The present test was planned for examining the effect on train impact of application of emergency brake under the condition of the supplementary reservoir included or excluded in the operation, and for exploring the possibility of modernizing the regulations.
