Train running safety is a major concern among railway engineers, since a derailment may
cause significant personal and material damages. This problem becomes more important if …

Serviceability and running safety of the high-speed train on/through a bridge are of major
concern in China. Due to the uncertainty chain of the train dynamic analysis in crosswinds …

This article presents a study on the train stability against crosswinds simulated with different
wind models. The work focuses on the evaluation of derailment indexes, which are …

In areas with strong wind, windbreaks are built along railways to reduce the impact of wind
on trains. However, because of the restrictions imposed by actual terrain, windbreak …

Unsteady aerodynamic loads have a significant influence on the running safety of a train in
crosswinds. Full-scale tests were carried out to measure the pressure on a fast streamlined …

It is necessary to obtain the aerodynamic force coefficients of the train on the embankment
for the assessment of the running safety in a crosswind. In general, wind tunnel tests are …

In this paper, a numerical study regarding the influence of the wind speed and orientation on
the train running safety against crosswinds is presented. The wind profiles are defined …

With increasing train speed, aerodynamic effects pose a safety risk for train operations,
especially for trains passing each other, the strong transient aerodynamic loads could result …

The aim of the present study consists of evaluating the influence of the most relevant
geometric, mechanical and aerodynamic vehicle properties in the risk of derailment caused …

Given that the operation speeds of high-speed trains are rising constantly and considering
the lightweight body technology that is being applied widely, vehicle systems have become …
