Recently, the demand of traffic increased along with the rise of environmental consciousness, "high-speed rail system" so that stand out. High-speed rail system is in character with rail traffic, high speed movement, as well as environmental protection consideration which is compared to internal combustion engine electric motor. Hence, the development of high-speed railway in Taiwan for north-south travel has become a revolutionary change. However, the location of Taiwan within a multi-fault seismic zone poses a major threat to high-speed rail system. Taiwan High Speed Rail at the time of construction has taken into account of the geographic features and simulated possible risks for traffic safety. Present research focuses on the response after earthquake whether if the Taiwan High Speed Rail is able to minimum the damage. Furthermore, we would like to offer suggestion for the improvement of contingency management and efficiency. This study based on the case of Taiwan High Speed Rail in derailment accident triggered by the magnitude 6.4 earthquake occurred at March 4, 2010 Kaohsiung Chiahsien. We focus on the response process for the emergency and compared with the case of Japan Joetsu Shinkansen , October 23, 2004 6.8 magnitude earthquake derailment accident. We explore the contingency measures of Taiwan High Speed Rail after the derailment by conform to its internal standard procedures, for example, whether passengers get the protection of security, whether the support units progress contingency plan, and whether implement the efficiency. We would like to educate the public to understand the difficulty in the contingency management process, and also improves the Taiwan High Speed Rail to contingency management.
