Case study of vehicle side crashes with trams
Original language description
Side impacts belong to the most dangerous types of collisions. This type of collision is typical for accidents of vehicles at crossroads (intersections). In cases where the public city transport includes tramways, there is also a risk of collision between vehicles and tramways. Considering the stiffness of construction and mass of a tramway, depending also on the number of travelling passengers, even collision at relatively low crash speeds into side part of passenger vehicle may result in severe injuries of passengers. Ten accidents of tramways with personal vehicles according to the speed of collision, damage on vehicles and the effects to injuries of the vehicle´s crew have been analysed in this paper. The crash speed is analysed according to damage on the vehicle and verified with the support of the simulation programme calculation. The cause of the accident in connection to mutual visibility aspects at the crash scene has also been analysed. All the analysed accidents occurred in city Brno, Czech Republic and were documented as part of CzIDAS project (Czech In-Depth Accident Study based on GIDAS database) by Traffic Research Centre institution. Cases have been analysed in cooperation between Brno University of Technology and Traffic Research Centre, Czech Republic.
