The paper proposes a method that allows forecasting a level of passenger injuries at interaction with baggage in emergency situations. The authors have created computer models of emergency situations that are caused by a collision of passenger rolling stock with an obstacle on a track in the form of a motorcar and a freight car, and by swinging of a car on a side wall. The model of the investigated car is supplemented by elements of passenger car interior, models of anthropometric dummies and baggage. The anthropometric dummies are located on passenger seats, the baggage is presented by rigid bodies that are located on parcel shelves. As a result, the authors have got the values of injury criteria at interaction of passengers with baggage.
