abstract="The rail industry has been significantly affected by the passive safety technology in the last few years. The tram front-end design must fulfill the new requirements  for pedestrian passive safety performance in the near future. The requirements are  connected with a newly prepared technical guide &quot;Tramway front end design&quot; prepared  by Technical Agency for ropeways and Guided Transport Systems. This paper describes  research connected with new tram front-end design safe for pedestrians. The brief  description of collision scenario and used human-body model &quot;Virthuman&quot; is provided. The numerical simulations (from field of passive safety) are supported by  experiments. The interesting part is the numerical model of the tram windshield  experimentally validated here. The results of simulations are discussed at the end  of paper.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
