Abstract: Train derailments may have catastrophic consequences, and therefore suitable measures should be designed and installed at specific safety-relevant sites to mitigate their effects. Mitigation measures, such as guard rails and containment walls, aim at restraining… read more here.

Abstract: The derailment behaviour of trains following a collision is a critical factor in driving safety. This paper builds upon the existing train collision dynamics model by integrating a finite-length Euler beam track model with elastic… read more here.
