PERMISSIBLE VALUES OF NON-COMPENSATED ACCELERATIONS AND THEIR TIME INCREMENTS ON HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY SECTIONS

Comfort in conditions of high-speed surface travelling is a problem which requires the attention of specialists and designers of both rolling stock and permanent way. Very detailed investigations are at present in progress. The measurement of transverse accelerations and in particular the non-compensated accelerations are useful in order to assess the running performance of a vehicle and such vital factors as safety and comfort. This article discusses some aspects of the problem in connection with investigations performed on USSR Railways.
