Abstract: A coupled vehicle-track dynamic model is put forward for use in investigating the safety effects of crosswinds on the operation of a high-speed railway vehicle. In this model, the vehicle is modeled as a nonlinear multi-body system, and the ballasted track is modeled as a three-layer discrete elastic support system. The steady aerodynamic forces caused by crosswinds are modeled as ramp-shaped external forces being exerted on the vehicle body. This model was used in a numerical analysis of the dynamic response and dynamic derailment mechanisms of high-speed vehicles subjected to strong crosswinds. The effects of the crosswind speeds, crosswind attack angle, and vehicle speed on the operational safety of the vehicle were examined. The operational safety boundaries of a high-speed vehicle subjected to crosswinds were determined. The numerical results obtained indicate that crosswinds at attack angles of 75° to 90° with respect to the forward direction of the vehicle have a great influence on the safety of operating high-speed railway vehicles. The wheelset unloading limit, which determines the position of the warning boundary dividing the safe operating area and the warning area, is the most conservative, i.e., the safest, criterion to use in assessing the high-speed operational safety of vehicles in crosswinds.
