Abstract
Objective: development of a methodology for determining a correction factor, with the help of which the amount of introduced energy will be recalculated when testing draft gears for service life and reducing the range of longitudinal loads perceived by the car during collisions, depending on the class of draft gears installed on the car. Practical significance: the use of a correction factor will ensure a more accurate calculation of the number of collisions for one year of operation of a car and the estimated number of impact forces, the values of which are used to determine the total accumulated damage when testing cars for life in the event of a collision, and will also ensure differentiation of the amount of energy introduced when testing draft gears for life.
