Objective
Tramway is an increasing accepted mode of urban passenger transport. Present levels of active safety are being achieved mainly through active systems such as signalling and high performance braking systems. However, accidents involving tramways continue to occur, which result in injuries to drivers, passengers, pedestrians and road vehicle occupants. SAFETRAM addresses precisely the problem of tramway passive safety, which includes all structural and interior design rules that contribute to a safe environment for occupants during crash events. Passive safety has been applied currently and successfully in the automotive industry and, more recently, it is being implemented in trains. Addressing an entirely new European problem, Safe tram proposes to develop the correspondent rules for tramways, a passenger guided transport system operating in a complex environment of mixed traffic.
