철도차량 실차충돌시험설비 구축 및 운용

초록

The full-scale crash test facilities for a train were established and operated by Korea Railroad Research Institute(KRRI). The full-scale crash test enables the safety evaluation especially for the train crash. The testing facilities currently constructed are the first crash testing facility among the Asian countries. The crash test facilities consist of a crash barrier, crash cars, measuring instruments. KRRI has conducted several tens of crash tests including crash energy absorbing modules, front-end structures, end structure of a passenger car, a Saemaul-ho passenger car using the crash test facilities. This paper introduces the detailed crash testing facilities and their applications.
