TRACK BED AND TRACK MAINTENANCE ON HIGH-SPEED TRACKS. EARLY EXPERIENCE FROM THE HIGH-SPEED RUNS BETWEEN MUNICH AND AUGSBURG AT THE TIME OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT EXHIBITION

Remarks concerning alignment, design and maintenance condition of the permanent way on the high-speed section between Munich and Augsburg are followed by a discussion of test run results, with special reference to the relationships between track bed faults and vehicle accelerations at high speeds. The technical problems associated with high-speed tracks and their maintenance have been largely clarified.
