By implementing CEM techniques and technologies, trains can be made safer and more resilient to crashes, reducing the likelihood and severity of accidents.
WHAT IS CEM?
CEM works by absorbing and dissipating the kinetic energy of a crash, thereby reducing the force of impact and the damage to the train and its passengers.
One way this is done is through the use of energy-absorbing materials such as foam or metal crush structures in the front of the train. These materials compress upon impact, absorbing the energy of the crash and reducing the force of impact.
Services offered
- Design of energy absorbing components;
- Application of CEM systems to new vehicles;
- Retrofit of CEM systems to existing vehicles;
- Selection of components for CEM systems;
- Repair of CEM vehicles after crush zone activation.
The Rolling Stock division of SYSTRA Canada was a key participant in the structural design of the CEM train shown on this video.
