Technical Feasibility of Magnetic Levitation as a Suspension System for High-Speed Ground Transportation Vehicles- Volume II: Appendix

This report examines the technical feasibility of magnetic levitation as a suspension system for high-speed ground transportation vehicles in the 300 mph cruise speed range. Of the various magnetic suspensions which have been proposed only one appears to provide all of the desired features: good...

Summary Report-Ballast and Foundation Materials Research Program

This report constitutes a summary of the results of the various phases of the Ballast and Foundation Materials Research Program. Data and information obtained from the technical literature and that developed in the project are summarized. Implications of the research data and findings are discussed...

Study of New Track Structure Design Phase II

Phase I of this research investigation was undertaken in September, 1966, for the Office of High Speed Ground Transportation (OHSGT) of the Department of Commerce by Battelle Memorial Institute for the purpose of conceiving new and improved track structures for high-speed trains. As a result of...

Study of New Track Structure Design Phase I

Conventional (tie-type) and non-conventional rail vehicle track structures were studied with the constraint that standard gage and rail head contour not be varied from current practices. Computer programs were developed and used to analyze track response to both static and dynamic vehicle...

Study of Liability, Insurance and Indemnification Problems for FRA Programs

This report presents the findings, conclusions and recommendations of an extensive six-month study of liability, insurance and indemnification problems in certain FRA programs. To assemble this information, interviews were conducted, extensive legal research was performed, and relevant literature...

Studies for Rail Vehicle Track Structures

Conventional (tie-type) and non-conventional rail vehicle track structures were studied, with the restriction that standard gage and rail-head contour be used. Computer programs were developed and used to analyze track response to both static and dynamic vehicle loading. The models of...

Development of a Structural Model and Materials Evaluation Procedures- Ballast and Foundation Materials Research Program

An adequate engineering analysis of conventional railway track support system (CRTSS) requires the consideration of all the major components of the track support system. Past efforts in this area have not been satisfactory because of lack of proper material characterization and very simplified...

SOAC State-of-the-Art Car Engineering Tests at DOT High Speed Ground Test Center Final Test Report Volume II: Performance Tests

This six-volume report presents the technical methodology, data samples, and results of tests conducted on the SOAC on the Rail Transit Test Track at the High Speed Ground Test Center in Pueblo, Colorado during the period April to July 1973. The UMTA-sponsored Urban Rail Supporting Technology...

SOAC State-of-the-Art Car Engineering Tests at Depatment of Transportation High Speed Ground Test Center Final Test Report - Volume 1 Program Description and Test Summary

Service Analysis of Tube Vehicle Systems

This report describes an analysis of the service characteristics, cost and performance of Tube Vehicle Systems operating within the Northeast Corridor of the United States in the 1975 to 1985 time frame. The basis of this study is the TRANSOP computer program which, as described herein, searches...
