ROAD TEST FOR THE MEASURE OF SKID PREVENTION ON SHIN KANSEN CARS--MEASUREMENT TEST OF ADHESION FORCE UPON BRAKING

For the purpose of studying the limit of adhesion between rail and wheel upon braking, the measured results of adhesion force on SHIN KANSEN electric railcars, under the condition of watering, in both short and longer period tests are described in this report. Actual state of adhesion on cars in service were clarified such as follows: (1) adhesion force has difference of significance each by speed and by day of testing, even though the test conditions are seemingly same, and (2) the relation between mean adhesion force and skidding risk is to be known.
