ASME RT-2
Safety Standard for Structural Requirements for Heavy Rail Transit Vehicles
Organization:
ASME - ASME International
Year: 2008
Abstract: Subjects Covered by This Standard
This Standard applies to carbodies of newly constructed heavy rail transit vehicles for transit passenger service in North America. It defines requirements for the incorporation of passive safety design concepts related to the performance of the carbody of heavy rail transit vehicles in conditions such as collisions, so as to enhance passenger safety, and limit and control damage. This Standard does not cover light rail vehicles, automated people movers, and freight, commuter, highspeed, or any other rail vehicles under the jurisdiction of the Federal Railroad Administration.
Subjects Not Addressed by This Standard
There are several issues related to safety not addressed, such as, but not limited to
(a) structural repairs
(b) fatigue
(c) corrosion
(d) fire protection (NFPA 130)
(e) interior vehicle design
(f) emergency egress from vehicle (NFPA 130)
Effective Date
This Standard applies to carbodies of newly constructed heavy rail transit vehicles for transit passenger service in North America ordered 180 days following the date of issuance of this Standard by the Standards Committee and ASME.
