Overview presentation for the PROCAB project
Posted: Tuesday 31 July 2007
PROCAB (Conception et Validation de systèmes de PROtection de CABines de Conduite Ferroviaires intégrant les aspects biomécaniques en cas de crash) is a 36-months project of a cost of 4,06 M¤.
The project seeks for three major goals :
1 To acquire numerical modeling means adapted to rail to be able to predict the drivers comportment in case of a crash, and injuries related (to include biomechanics in numerical modeling);
2 To acquire means of testing and measuring adapted to rail to be able to perform biomechanical tests;
3 To investigate, to develop and to validate means of protection on the driver's desk / in the cab to minimize injuries to the driver.
Bombardier Transportation France is the leader of the project. BT is supported by two partners : LAMIH and Stratiforme.
LAMIH (Laboratoire d'Automatique, de Mécanique, et d'Informatique industrielles et Humaines) is a laboratory of Université de Valenciennes (UVHC). Professors of LAMIH are experts in crash tests for the automobile industry.
Stratiforme's activities consist in the implementation of thermosetting plastics in four sectors : railways, military, building trade and industry. Stratiforme will provide the driver's desks for testing.
