Abstract

This paper studied on the application of Korean Railway Safety Law and Urban Transit Safety Law in Crashworthiness Regulations to the urban maglev vehicle of KIMM. The crashworthiness regulations for urban transit vehicle should be satisfied to the urban maglev vehicles according to crash analysis results using the explicit finite element method. However, according to its numerical results, the crashworthiness regulations of Korean Railway Safety Law were partially satisfied except the coupling and shunting condition. When a commercial urban maglev vehicle is developed in the near future, the crashworthiness regulations of Korean Railway Safety Law should be considered and satisfied during its structural design stage in some details
