The article considers the multiparameter problem of the mechanical system behavior and its survivability when destructing individual elements. The technique for constructing the area of safe operation of the cabin of the GT1-h gas turbine locomotive was illustrated on the example of collision of a locomotive with an obstacle at a crossing. The main parameters determining the energy of interaction between the cabin and the obstacle was singled out, and their influence on the survivability of the structure was analyzed. The finite element method was used to calculate the load-bearing capacity of a power frame with a buffer device in the initial state and after the destruction of individual structural elements by the dynamic strength criterion. The force of elastic interaction between the locomotive and the obstacle was estimated through the spring, the rigidity of which was estimated on the basis of the finite element calculation results. As a result of the calculations, proposals were developed to strengthen the cabin frame to ensure the safety of the crew and the instrument part in case of unauthorized collision with an obstacle of considerable mass and violation of the speed regime.
