Collision Scenario

Item

Boundary condition

1

Collision mass 1

The weight of the Tc car is 34.08 t, the weight of the Mp/M car is 36.26 t, and the total weight of the six-car marshaling train is 213.2 t.

Collision velocity

25 km/h

Wheel-rail friction

The wheel/rail friction coefficient is set as 0.008 [19].

2

Collision mass 2 (work order plus six persons standing per square meter)

The weight of the Tc car is 46.56 t, the weight of the Mp/M car is 50.24 t, and the total weight of the six-car marshaling train is 294.08 t.

Collision velocity

15 km/h

Wheel-rail friction

The wheel/rail friction coefficient is set as 0.008 [19].
