We have developed the new simulation program which can deal with the large displacement, as the railway vehicle derails or overturns and wheels leave from rails. The dynamic behavior of railway vehicles running on track vibrated due to earthquake is analyzed, using this numerical simulation. The tentative running safety limits are proposed, that show the critical amplitude of track vibration at each frequency against the derailment. Moreover, the influence of vertical track vibration besides lateral one on the running safety limits is investigated. As a result, it is found that the vehicle running safety against earthquake has strong relation to the lateral track vibration, although the vertical vibration promotes the jumping of wheels. In the low frequency area, the rolling of carbody is excited gradually, and then the vehicle overturns, when it suffers the large amplitude seismic motion. In the high frequency area, the wheel flange comes into collision with rail at the first or second vibration, and the wheel jumps and leaves from rail. In respect of the critical track acceleration, railway vehicles have a tendency to be able to stand the earthquake with high frequency vibration more than 1.4 Hz.
