CALCULATION OF OPTIMAL TRAIN PERFORMANCE CURVES IN THE UHSGT

While the so-Called Ultra High Speed Ground Transportation System has been studied in many countries, the Japanese National Railways has produced a method of computing optimal train performance curves for UHSGT using dynamic programming. Passenger comfort and energy to be consumed in running a train are the criteria for the optimal condition.
