SYSTEM-ANALYSIS METHODS IN THE DEFINITION PHASE FOR HIGH-SPEED TRACTIVE UNITS

SYSTEMTECHNISCHE METHODEN IN DER DEFINITIONSPHASE FUER EIN HOCHGESCHWINDIGKEITS-TRIEBFAHRZEUG

High-speed tractive units are maximum-performance vehicles and they can cause rather important interactions with the track and the current-supply system. The author considers the design of prototypes from the standpoint of their overall economy of operation, taking reciprocal influences into account, with the help of calculation by simulation, value analysis of use, cost-benefit analysis, and a critical-path diagram. He takes as a basis a motive power unit with a pantograph and a 20-tonne axle load.
