In this study, the crashworthiness of the KTX Sancheon was evaluated under the domestic safety regulation for high speed rollingstock. There are two serious collision scenarios to evaluate crashworthy performance. One is a train-to-train collision at 36 ㎞/h, and the other is a large obstacle-to-train at 110 ㎞/h. The KTX Sancheon turned to satisfy the performance requirements of the domestic safety regulation. That is, the deceleration caused by two collision scenarios remained under the allowable limits of the maximum 7.5g and average 5g. There did not also occurred a remarkable deformation in the survival spaces such as deriver"s and passenger"s rooms.
