Abstract

The study addresses the evaluation of overturning risk due to crosswind in rail vehicles, that is a critical concern for the safety of railway operations. In literature, studies primarily focus on high-speed trains, yet conventional trains also encounter this issue, emphasizing the need for comprehensive wind hazard assessments, applicable to all railway lines automatically. This study develops a simplified procedure for the evaluation of probabilistic distribution of wind speed and direction. By encompassing the wind climate along the railway line, this model lays the groundwork for a comprehensive risk analysis. This methodology has been applied along the Milano Novara railway line.
