SIDE THRUST ON TRACK AT HIGH SPEEDS

Measurement of lateral forces on wheels and track for high speed running on the Tokaido line were carried out in two different ways; by measuring and recording the stresses in the wheels of an inspection test car, and by measurements on the track. These measurements were made for speeds up to 150 mile/h.
