A New, Durable and Efficient Optical Lens Design for Driver Cabs’ of the DMUs

Alper Tasci, Cenk Yavuz

Abstract— Driver Cabs’ Marker and Tail lights have significant importance in railway transportation. There are several requirements mentioned in the international standards for estimation and operation clauses. In this study a new Polycarbonate lens design for MT15400 series Diesel Multiple Units (DMU) of Turkish Wagon Industry instead of existing Glass lenses is realized. Tests and measurements held to prove the advantages of the new design: better visibility, light intensity and light distribution.
