THE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR RUNNING STABILITY OF THE SHINKANSEN

On the high-speed Shin Kansen line, ride quality is assured by measurements on revenue trains in regular operation. Vibration monitoring is done by teams riding trains with instruments which can be moved from car to car. A calibrated wheelset is used for determining the lateral and wheel loads, quotient of which is the derailment coefficient. Under development is a wheel flat inspection system. While the emphasis of this article is on the condition of rolling stock as a means of guiding maintenance, track is also routinely inspected with its irregularities analyzed by computer.
