A study on establishing the accident scenarios for crashworthiness of rolling stocks

철도차량의 충돌안전도 설계를 위한 사고 시나리오 제정 연구

In this study, collision accident scenarios are derived for crashworthy design of rolling stocks because the detailed guidelines to complement domestic safety regulations with respect to collision accidents of rolling stocks are under preparation. Through this study, several collision accident scenarios are broadly investigated for those of advanced countries like USA, UK and EU. Next, the basic engineering considerations which are necessary to derive the collision accident scenarios are reviewed and analysed in some details. Finally, two collision accident scenarios are derived considering the circumstances of domestic railroads.
