Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1854694A2] For a transportation machine such as a railway vehicle, a space for a driver is secured while collision energy is absorbed at a time of collision with a large obstacle, and entry of a flying object into a driving cab is prevented by a rigid structure at a time of collision with the flying object. Windows (40) are provided in a flying object barrier plate (50) provided at a tip end portion of a driving cab (25), and energy absorbing members (100) are penetrated through the windows to be disposed in a form extending outward of the flying object barrier plate from an inside of the driving cab. The energy absorbing members of a large absorbing capacity can be efficiently disposed by utilizing a space of the driving cab provided in a vehicle body. A beam member of a crushable zone (11a) including the flying object barrier plate is firmly placed and can be connected to a survival zone (10).
