Sep 2, 2023 · According to Gattie and the FRA, “a derailment happens when on-track equipment leaves the rail for a reason other than a collision, explosion, highway-rail grade crossing impact, etc.” Gattie...
Jul 14, 2023 · Train post-derailment behaviours and containment methods play a critical role in preventing derailment escalation and providing passive safety protection and accident prevention in the event of a derailment.
- 1 Causes of derailments and collisions that occurred in the past and countermeasures for these accidents
- Train stops in front of red signal
- 2 The cause of the Fukuchiyama-Line derailment, and new countermeasures for this accident
It is not too much to say that the history of railway safety in Japan is the history of accidents. We have improved the safety level because we must not repeat the accident that occurred in the past. In this chapter, we explain two accidents that were a turning point for our countermeasures.
Image 2: The mechanism of ATS-P The mechanism of ATS-P systems are that an ATS wayside coil transmits the distance to the red signal for trains. Next, the on-board ATS-P device for trains calculates the continuous brake pattern based on the distance to the red signal. If the train speed exceeds the continuous brake pattern, service brake works auto...
In this chapter, we explain the Fukuchiyama-Line derailment that occurred on West Japan Railway Company.

In rail transport, a derailment is a type of train wreck that occurs when a rail vehicle such as a train comes off its rails. Although many derailments are minor, all result in temporary disruption of the proper operation of the railway system and they are a potentially serious hazard.
Jan 1, 2011 · This paper analyzes several critical parameters for predicting train derailment risk by using derailment statistics from the FRA accident database and related literature. A general method was developed to assess derailment risk by accident cause and FRA track class.
