Summary
Passive safety has become a new feature of the rail vehicle design. This paper
focuses on the passive safety of the railway vehicle interiors. The paper presents
techniques for the passive safety assessment of the real interiors. The virtual models
of a railway vehicle and tram interiors were created for this purpose. The data of the
vehicle constructions were obtained from the local developers. The vehicles
considered have recently been developed and used for operations now. The safety
assessment was carried out using the finite element method and multibody
simulations. The simulations were performed using the software environment PAMCRASH.
The combination of rigid and deformable parts were used for the modeling
of the virtual interiors. The most significant features of the interior were the seats.
