COLLISION TEST OF RAILWAY CAR AND DUMP TRUCK (SECOND SERIES)

Collision test of actual cars is one of the projects for the prevention of railway crossing accidents. The shock, the movement and the deformation of the car body are investigated by the test using actual railway cars and dump trucks at a railroad crossing, and furthermore it is examined how passengers and drivers are affected by the collision. Problems on collision are divided into five items as follows: (1) Shock deceleration, (2) Velocity change and mean deceleration, (3) Deformation of front surface of car, (4) influence on passengers and drivers, (5) Prediction of train collision.
