European standards define the conditions for stationary and track tests that each new type of rolling stock has to pass within its approval process. Because those tests are demanding and their results are influenced by weather conditions and other random factors, there is an attempt to replace them by computer simulations. The paper deals with simulations of stationary tests for proving safety against derailment. The multibody simulation model of Ukrainian electric locomotive DS3 has been built. This model was used to simulate all three methods defined in the European standard EN 14363 for proving safety against derailment. The results of the simulations are shown in the paper.
