THE "VEHICLE" SUB-SYSTEM IN THE RAIL/WHEEL RESEARCH PROGRAMME OF THE FEDERAL MINISTRY FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY
DAS SUBSYSTEM "FAHRZEUG" IM RAD/SCHIENE-FORSCHUNGSPROGRAMM DES BUNDESMINISTERIUMS FUER FORSCHUNG UND TECHNOLOGIE
Since 1972 the West German Ministry for Research and Technology has been subsidizing a large-scale project of investigation into the limitations of the wheel/rail system. Work in connection with vehicles consists mainly of basic research on track/vehicle interaction, construction of an experimental laboratory-vehicle and manufacture of bearings to be tested on test units. The results are intended to provide a basis for making decisions on transport policy, to compare unconventional transport systems and improve wheel/rail techniques.
