EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE RUNNING RESISTANCE OF JNR FREIGHT CARS, GENERAL EQUATION OF RESISTANCE AND ITS VARIANCE

The writer has recently made a study for the hump track layout design for the Koriyama shunting yard. In this study new measuring and analytical methods were adopted to establish a general equation of the running resistance which may be applied to all types of freight car of JNR. This equation expresses the functional relation of the type and the loading condition of cars, and the meterological elements. This paper may possibly give a convenient and useful information for practical design, operation and control of freight cars.
