In order to consider passengers' on-board safety, passenger behavior in the event of a train collision was examined by means of numerical simulation. Taking the hypothesis of a commuter train colliding with a car at a level crossing, key points and measures to reduce the probability of injury to passengers were investigated. Results made it clear that fittings such as handrails or partitions installed at bench seat to divide sitting passenger groups could reduce the probability of injury to passengers. It was also made apparent that shape of bench-end partitions and length of baggage racks also played a role in safety.
