Model Of High-Speed Train Energy Consumption

, 2013
In the hardening energy context, the transport sector which constitutes a large worldwide energy demand has to be improving for decrease energy demand and global warming impacts. In a controversial situation where subsists an increasing demand for long-distance and high-speed travels, high-speed trains offer many advantages, as consuming significantly ...

Models for Lateral Dynamic Interaction of High-Speed Trains and Bridges [PDF]

, 2011
In this work a methodology for analysing the lateral coupled behavior of large viaducts and high-speed trains is proposed. The finite element method is used for the structure, multibody techniques are applied for vehicles and the interaction between them ...

Research on heat dissipation of brake disc in the semi-enclosed space under high-speed train based on fluid-solid-thermal coupling method

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
The maximum operating speed of trains can reach 400 km/h, the temperature of brake discs will rise rapidly during emergency braking and brings safety hazards.

It's snow joke for the Shinkansen [PDF]

, 2005
Getting trains to operate in the snow can be a major problem. So one can imagine how this problem would intensify if you were wanting to operate high speed trains which are expected to arrive on time, all the time.

High-Speed Trains For California [PDF]

, 1992
This report represents that conclusions of the first year of IURD's study of the potential for a high-speed passenger train service in California. Seven previous studies have each dealt with a specific high-speed train technology; each attempted an evaluation, standardized so far as data permitted, of its technical and economic viability.The present ...
