Automatic remote control coupler for mine cars. Final report 14 Jun 74-16 Apr 76
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7307333
This report describes the Foster-Miller program that designed, developed, built, and tested an automatic, remote control mine car coupler. This new coupler gives the motorman the capability to selectively couple and uncouple cars from the locomotive, to transmit braking intelligence to the coupled cars, and to determine if the trip is intact. Hazards due to derailment and runaway cars will be reduced as the brakes are automatically applied in any uncoupled car. Laboratory tests described herein have been completed on the coupler set. Applications include, but are not limited to, the unit train system.
