Today, the question of inequality related to transport systems is becoming an issue that governments, at different territorial scales, should confront in order find solutions and restrict consequences [...]

Correspondence to: D. Levinson (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. This paper examines the full costs, defined as the sum of private and social costs, of a high-speed rail system proposed for a corridor connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco in California. The full costs include infrastructure, fleet capital and operating expenses, the time users spend on the system, and the soc...

Rail corrugation is a common railway defect that involves diverse and complex factors. grinding also the most commonly used method to address corrugations. Through numerous irregularity tests one-third octave frequency spectrum analyses, this study determined characteristics development process for rail on high-speed tracks. The vibration transmission properties of train were tested using force...

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the current leakage of the power grid due to the change in speed of high-speed rail (HSR). First, using PSIM software as the fundamental basis, this study constructed an overall HSR circuit-based model system, including Scott transformer, auto-transformer, and the track equivalent circuit and grounding system. In addition, this paper sought to study ...

Today, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan all have high-speed lines in operation. Many other countries, including Brazil, India, Morocco, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States, either have high-speed rail systems under construction or under development. Within the next few years, the world’s high-speed rail network co...
