description In this study, the locomotive and the turnout were simulated with three-dimensional models. The purpose of this study is prediction the derailment phenomenon of the locomotive running on the turnout in Vietnam. Multi-body simulations were implemented by SIMPACK software to determine the derailment coefficient, the wheel unloading factor, and the lateral force. The interaction between the locomotive and the track structure at turnout was considered unified. The derailment coefficient, the wheel unloading factor, and the lateral force were calculated for locomotive-D19E at turnout (tg0.15) for 1000 mm gauge according to QCVN 18:2011/BGTVT, EN 14363:2016, and TCVN 8784:2011. The derailment coefficient, the wheel unloading factor, and the lateral force for the locomotive at max speed V=27.8 km/h are 0.94, 0.61, and 67.46 kN, respectively. These results show that the locomotive will not derail when it passes the turnout at a speed V 27.8 km/h.
