Sorry for any Inconvenience Caused: Why Britain Messed up High Speed Rail
Abstract High Speed 2—the planned new railway from London to the north of England—is one of the largest and most controversial public sector investment projects Britain has attempted in decades. Much has been written about the huge cost overruns that the project has suffered, and why this led to the eventual cancellation of the line beyond its first ...

A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate an evaluation method for building habitability based on subjective responses to vibrations caused by external sources. Subjective responses were measured in terms of “magnitude,” “concern,” and “discomfort,” The study compared several domestic and international evaluation methods for environmental ...

Train operation simulation and capacity analysis for a high‐speed maglev station
Focusing on the transportation organization characteristics of the high‐speed maglev station, this article simulates the train operation process based on the train running calculation and operation scheme of multi‐type trains, and analyzes the capacity of the station based on the simulation for multi‐type trains and typical‐layout stations.

Experimental Investigation of Aerodynamic Noise Generated by a Train-Car Gap
To investigate the mechanism of noise generation by a train-car gap, which is one of a major source of noise in Shinkansen trains, experiments were carried out in a wind tunnel using a 1/5-scale model train.

Modern trends in designing high-speed trains [PDF]
Increased advantages of railway transportation systems over other types of transportation systems in the past sixty years have been a result of an intensive development of the new generations of high-speed trains. Not only do these types of trains comply

Optimization of Skip‐Stop Train Schedule in Urban Rail Transit Under Virtual Coupling
Virtual coupling technology enables decoupling and coupling operations of trains more flexible, and the tracking interval between trains is also shortened. This paper analyzes the advantages of virtual coupling technology in the application of skip‐stop operation, and operation strategies based on real‐time train coupling and decoupling are proposed ...

Nonlinear vibrations of a moving rail-vehicle excited by snaking and lateral impacts of wheel sets
The paper develops a theory of physically non-linear vibrations of a rail-vehicle moving on a rectilinear and non-deformable track. The vibrations are excited by snaking and lateral impacts of the wheel sets.

Abstract Replicating maternal care and incubating octopus embryos artificially is advantageous to improve access to embryonic stages, split and share broods, and reduce the required space to culture large quantities of embryos. However, without female care and adequate rearing systems, the risk of bacterial and fungal infections can be high. This study
