VEHICLE RESPONSE ON FLEXIBLE TRACK

This paper describes the state-of-the-art of analyzing vehicle response on flexible track as a continuation and update of an earlier survey. While concentrating on MAGLEV systems, the activities on conventional high-speed railways in various countries are covered as well, because of the similarity of methods and the possibility of comparison and contest of the two systems.
