Abstract:A simple and a more detailed mathematical model for the simulation of train collisions are presented. The study presents considerable insight as to the causes and consequences of train motions on impact. Comparison of model predictions with two full scale train-to-train impact tests shows good correlation. Methods for controlling train motion and kinetic energy dissipation for the minimization of train collision induced damage are suggested.
