TRAIN/ELEVATED GUIDEWAY PARAMETRIC INVESTIGATION

The report contains the results of a parametric investigation of train/elevated guideway interaction to establish the dynamic criticality in the design of simply-supported elevated guideways for multi-vehicle trains traveling at high speeds. The study is based on a digital simulation model developed for this purpose. Results of the study are presented in graphical form. (Author)
