GOOSE HILL MEASUREMENTS CONFIRM X2000's LOW DYNAMIC TRACK FORCES439Full-scale tests have verified a model which enables dynamic forces between trains and track to be calculated, allowing both track and vehicle components to be optimized at the design stage
MODEL PREDICTION OF TRACK LOADS AND RAIL CORRUGATION447Models of track and vehicle dynamics that predict wheel/rail contact forces can be used to optimize parameters such as sleeper spacing and pad stiffness, reducing loads and corrugation growth
DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF WHEEL-RAIL CONTACT WILL LEAD TO QUIETER TRAINS453Effective attenuation of railway noise and vibration is possible by isolating the trackform from the supporting structure, while the combination of floating slab track with resilient rail support permits attenuation over a wide frequency range
BOGIE SHROUDS AND LOW BARRIERS COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE WHEEL/RAIL NOISE459Damping the vibration of wheel and rail may offer the best longterm solution to railway noise, but containment could be a useful short term option
COST RECOVERY WORSENS AS EUROPE'S MAJOR RAILWAYS LOSE MARKET SHARE465Productivity gains between 1977 and 1990 were not sufficient to offset a pronounced drop in market share for both passenger and freight traffic
PRODUCTIVITY UP DESPITE RECESSION467
