ResumoConsidering anti earthquake measures for vehicles, preventing vehicles from derailment is the most important issue. To minimize the risk of fatal accidents, it is also essential to consider preventing derailed vehicles from veering off the track as a secondary measure. Central Japan Railway Company has developed anti-derailing guard rails as the primary measure and post derailment stopper as the secondary. For the development of the stopper, we conducted running tests in the condition of derailment using real bogies and tracks. Through the series of running tests, we observed the stopper prevented the derailed vehicle from veering off the track and verified the effectiveness of the stopper.
