In the switch rail section of a high-speed turnout, wheel–rail lateral impact forepart curved is most important factor affecting passing performance. order to reduce and improve safety, complete vehicle–track multi-body dynamics model devised in this paper. The variation relationship when train passes through analyzed. force derailment coefficient are calculated under different parameters, wear...

Abstract The current study aimed to identify what individual differences and situational variables cause derailment in highly conscientious people. Data were from a representative working sample of 716 participants across 27 industries, spanning both management non-management roles. We tested four hypotheses with regard bright- dark-side personality traits the relationship between boss/manager ...

In the event of an accident or derailment involving a freight train, various personnel must respond to clear the rightof-way, repair the tracks, and remove the damaged rail cars. If the train contains pressure tank cars, the potential hazard needs to be assessed and safe handling procedures need to be followed. Since 1985, the Association of American Railroads, Transportation Technology Center ...

Wind barriers can effectively reduce the risk of overturning and derailment high-speed trains running on a bridge under crosswind. However, it adversely affect wind resistance bridge. There are few studies aerodynamic performance curved barriers. In this paper, effects with four curvatures (0, 0.2, 0.35, 0.50) different train-bridge combinations crosswind characteristics system investigated. Th...
