Virtual Crashworthiness & Collision Modeling

Simulate train-to-train, train-to-buffer, train to buffer stops (arrestors) – both fixed and sliding and train-to-obstacle impacts;

• Train mass (empty vs. fully loaded passengers) Speed profiles
• Coupler types, buffers, crumple zones, draw gear, anti-climbing devices
• Bogie behaviour and car articulation Hundreds or thousands of collision scenarios can be tested virtually
• Edge cases (rare but catastrophic events) can be explored safely
• Physical testing is reserved only for final validation
• Fewer physical prototypes
• Lower test-track and certification costs
