Objective
Train crash events can be basically depicted into two phases:
i) The primary collision, where the initial kinetic energy is progressively dissipated by means of plastic structural deformation. In this phase occupant compartment integrity and acceptable vehicle acceleration levels (crash pulses) are the most important design requirements to be considered.
ii) The secondary collision, where the occupant will be subject to a great variety of potentially harmful occupant/interior or occupant/occupant contacts. Design requirements must involve the aspects of interior layouts, acceptable severity levels and biomechanical response to vehicle crash pulses.
This new interior passive safety platform will provide tangible and commercially viable solutions and a system s approach to methodically reduce injuries and fatalities by combining and exploiting in a cost efficient and optimised manner the already well matured railway structural crashworthiness (closely linked with primary collisions events), with injury biomechanics, directly associated with secondary collisions. The friendliness of the compartment interior is a major design issue and its treatment will complete the framework of railway passive safety. The purpose of the SAFEINTERIORS project is to provide the different railway stakeholders with a currently missing platform capable of assessing interoperability of all present and future interior rail vehicle layouts.
The proposed framework will address design requirements and assess new interior solutions following advanced state-of-art interior designs, representative layouts, a range of suitable crash pulses and new test and validation procedures suitable to the rail industry. The use of new materials will be fully exploited to improve the occupant/furniture con tact characteristics and contribute to lower overall vehicle mass levels.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
