  • Marlborough and Tidworth Community Area Working Group
    MARLBOROUGH AND TIDWORTH COMMUNITY AREA WORKING GROUP. A338/A346 LGV ISSUES. INTRODUCTION The Working Group was established in 2008 as a result of many complaints about the volume of traffic, particularly the number of Large Goods Vehicles (LGVs), on the A338/A346 road between the junction of the A338 with the A30 at the Laverstock mini roundabout near Salisbury, and Junction 15 of the M4 motorway near Swindon. This is a distance of 34 miles and known as the Corridor. Traffic along the Corridor is augmented by traffic entering from the A303 at Parkhouse Junction near Cholderton, from the A342/A346 through Ludgershall, from Hungerford and from Pewsey at Burbage, and from the A4 and the A345 at Marlborough. A map of the Corridor area is attached as Document 1. The Corridor is single carriageway and passes through Marlborough and a number of villages, the only one of which with a by-pass is Burbage. The route is hilly, straight in places with blind humps at the top of hills. In other places it has sharp bends, a number of narrow sections and it passes over two narrow and badly aligned railway bridges. Although the A338/A346 is a Primary Route, that is to say it forms part of the National Primary Route Network, it is not suitable for through LGVs. It has never been part of Wiltshire Council’s strategic lorry route and this policy has been continued in the SW Region’s draft transport strategy. While it is accepted that little can be done to reduce pollution caused by some of the traffic using the Corridor, the Working Group consider that there may be scope for reducing the environmental damage caused by Large Goods Vehicles (formerly known as HGVs) passing along the Corridor as through traffic.

  • Improving the Energy Efficiency of High Speed Rail and Life Cycle Comparison with Other Modes of Transport
    Imperial College London Department of Mechanical Engineering Improving the energy efficiency of high speed rail and life cycle comparison with other modes of transport Jing Zhou September 2014 Thesis submitted for the Diploma of Imperial College (DIC) PhD degree of Imperial College London 1 2 I declare that this written work is original work of which I am the sole author and written in my own words, except where other sources are acknowledged. 3 4 Copyright Declaration The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives licence.

High speed rail, increasingly viewed as an effective solution to inter-city passenger transportation challenge of the 21st century, has the significant ability of increasing passenger capacity and reducing journey time. The advent of high speed rail provided many research opportunities. So far studies have been contributed from different perspectives: economical, environmental, and technical. The main research gaps are: addressing the problem of the effects of route geometry on train energy consumption and quantifying the contributing factors towards differences in energy consumption between different types of high speed trains.
