Reduction of Power Consumption and CO2 Emissions as a Result of Putting into Service High-Speed Trains: Polish Case

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
This article presents the results of analyses of energy efficiency and environmental outcomes of putting into operation high-speed trains—first of that kind in Poland—in 2014 on upgraded 3 kV DC lines.

Rail fatigue crack propagation in high-speed wheel/rail rolling contact

open access: yesJournal of Modern Transportation, 2017
To study the wheel/rail rolling contact fatigue of high-speed trains, we obtain the distribution of contact forces between wheel and rail by introducing the strain-rate effect.

Positioning of High-speed Trains using 5G New Radio Synchronization Signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We study positioning of high-speed trains in 5G new radio (NR) networks by utilizing specific NR synchronization signals. The studies are based on simulations with 3GPP-specified radio channel models including path loss, shadowing and fast fading effects.

Aerodynamics of railway train/tunnel system: A review of recent research

open access: yesEnergy and Built Environment, 2020
The coupling and complexity of railway train / tunnel system are further aggravated by increasing train speed, which produces a series of aerodynamics problems, such as aerodynamic drag, slipstream, pressure wave and micro pressure wave.

Modelling extreme wind speeds in the context of risk analysis for high speed trains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
For high speed trains there is a potential risk of derailment when driving very fast and being hit by an extraordinary strong gust at the same time. The risk depends on both the wind speed and the angle between train and gust.

Route management modeling of high-speed trains on the train dispatcher section [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
This article gives a brief overview on fragmentation and how to prepare for a high-speed train. Currently, on the sections where high-speed trains run, the train dispatcher uses his experience and high skills to solve this problem by preparing train ...

Fatigue analysis of catenary contact wires for high speed trains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The fatigue fracture is one of the most critical failures which may occur on the high speed network because it is undetectable and it has a huge impact on traffic disruption.

About the influence of wheel-rail adhesion on the maximum speed of trains

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Wheel-rail adhesion is a fundamental aspect in rail transport, with high impact on traction and braking of trains. In the case of high speeds trains, wheel-rail adhesion is particularly important, as the maximum usable traction force is limited by the ...
