The main technical solutions for passive safety in passenger wagons developed and betting in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of railways itself by a single regulation and safety ments.

To be determined and assessed the sustainability ments of a collision, it is necessary to establish scenarios for the clash in terms of speed collision and the type and mass of potential obstacles. For normal European operating conditions comparable to those of the analysis of incidents collision applicable are the parameters of collision scenarios and related ments for collisions listed in item 5 referred to in standard EN15227: 2008 + A1: 2010 standard to crashworthiness design category CI (according to Table 1 of EN15227: 2008 Section 4).

Case study-limiting for each scenario depends on the control systems and active safety of the train and the characteristics of the infrastructure, as well as by the masses and the operating speeds on the railway vehicles. In some cases, scenarios for impact and their parameters for some operations could be contained in the legislation. In such cases, legislation should be consistent with and may be taken as a limiting case.

The publication reviewed regulations and ments for safety may in domestic and international railway transport, as well as processes of investigation and causes of train collisions getting. Analyze technical solutions for ensuring passive safety of passenger wagons and prerequisites for the emergence of railway collisions getting.
