Evaluation Method for Crashworthiness Using Integrated Value of Deceleration of Railway Vehicles Showing High Correlation with Degree of Passenger Injury

While standards for crashworthiness of railway vehicles have been defined in Europe and the U.S., there is no standard in Japan. Therefore, it is important to establish an evaluation method for crashworthiness of railway vehicles in Japan. The authors carried out finite element analyses under various conditions based on the...
