A VEHICLE FOR THE NEW FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM--THE STUDY ON ITS FUNDAMENTAL STRUCTURE

Linear-induction-motor-propelled vehicles for transporting containers are being studied by Japanese National Railways. The 13-m cars, each capable of transporting four 5-ton or two 10-ton containers, would operate individually with destination classifications occurring at junctions rather than in yards with consequent delay. The basic plan and its fundamental problems have been examined, primarily the influence of the lateral stiffness of axle springs on caster effect and the structural and dynamic loads of the vehicle. There was no fundamental difficulty seen in constructing a car necessary for the JNR's New Freight Transportation System.
