THE LAYOUT OF HIGH-SPEED RAIL PASSENGER TRUCK LINES, AS SEEN FROM THE COMMERCIAL STANDPOINT

DIE KOMMERZIELLE TRASSIERUNG VON FERNBAHNEN DES PERSONENVERKEHRS FUER HOHE FAHRGESCHWINDIGKEITEN

The study lists the results of a study commissioned by the DB in 1974 from the Transport Institute of the Hannover University of Technology, and explains the main findings basic to the commercial success of high-speed rail passenger trunk lines. These findings proceed from an analysis of the laws governing passenger traffic flows, from the pattern of housing zones in the GFR, and from the relationships of running dynamics between maximum speed and distances between stops.
