TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION BETWEEN RAIL AND MOTIVE POWER UNITS. RESULTS OF PRACTICAL TRANSMISSION TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS OF TRACK-CONDUCTOR CHARACTERISTICS (TEXT AND APPENDICES TO CHAPTERS 3 AND 4)

The appendices to this report contain accounts of the different tests and studies carried out at the initiative of ORE Specialists Committee A 46, namely: study of the methods of cable laying and of the measurement of the distance covered; measurement of track-conductor characteristics according to the pattern of laying of these, and effect of climatic conditions; transmission tests between track and stationary vehicles with various cable configuration and fraction voltages and fixed station on ground, supplying data on the bit error rate as a function of the transmitted power level; and measurement of the bit error rate with a moving motive power unit, for the direction of transmission track-loco, with various traction voltages as a function of the speed, traction power, transmission power and frequency.
