Development of an Artificial Intelligence-Based Predictive Model for the Derailment Coefficient of Railway Tracks

Derailment, one of the most critical accidents in railway systems, is directly associated with running safety. The derailment coefficient, which is widely used as a representative quantitative indicator for derailment evaluation, is determined by the interaction between the vehicle and track and is closely related to track conditions. Previous studies have investigated the effects of operational conditions, such as curve radius, cant, and speed, as well as track conditions, on the derailment coe
