Research on the application of high-speed EMU driver’s cab console based on new composite materials

Abstract This paper mainly introduces the design and verification of the driver’s cab console for high-speed EMU based on new composite materials and molding technology. The structure of the driver’s cab console is divided into 5 functional modules, and the main body of the structure is made of carbon fiber. The electrical layout follows the relevant standards such as UIC 651 and UIC 612, and is arranged according to the dimensions of importance, frequency, and accessibility. Through ergonomics simulation analysis, finite element simulation analysis, and prototype trial verification, the design scheme proposed in this paper has been significantly improved in many aspects such as function realization, lightweight, and ergonomics comfort.
