Passive safety

Requirements concerning passive safety of the vehicle in collision with obstacles (e.g. crashworthiness etc.). Including, e.g. obstacle deflector, limiting deceleration, survival space and structural integrity of occupied areas, reducing the risk of derailment and overriding, limiting consequences of hitting a track obstruction, interior fittings for passive safety. Reference to collision scenarios, survival space and structural integrity of the occupied areas, reducing the risk of overriding and derailment, limiting the consequences of hitting a track obstruction. Requirements concerning rail guard for protection of wheels from foreign objects and obstacles on the rails. Refers to: height of the lower end of the rail guard above the plain rail, minimum longitudinal force without permanent deformation. Deals not with snow plough.
