Alta Velocidade Ferroviária Em Portugal
Nuno Filipe Ramos Maranhão Alta Velocidade Ferroviária em Portugal Viabilidade económica do transporte de passageiros nos eixos prioritários Dissertação de Mestrado em Economia apresentada à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre janeiro de 2014 Nuno Filipe Ramos Maranhão Alta Velocidade Ferroviária em Portugal Viabilidade económica do transporte de passageiros nos eixos prioritários Dissertação de Mestrado em Economia, na especialidade de Economia Industrial, apresentada à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra para obtenção do grau de Mestre Orientador: Prof. Doutor Daniel Murta Coimbra, 2014 Agradecimentos Se o trabalho de projeto é, pela sua finalidade académica, um trabalho individual, há contributos de natureza diversa que não podem e nem devem deixar de ser realçados. Por essa razão, expresso os meus agradecimentos: Aos meus pais José e Maria e ao meu irmão César, pelo inestimável apoio e compreensão que preencheram as diversas falhas que fui tendo, e pela paciência revelada ao longo destes anos. Ao Professor Daniel Murta, meu orientador, pela competência científica e acompanhamento do trabalho, cujas críticas, correções e sugestões valorizei muito. Mas, sobretudo, pela relação de amizade e de proximidade, que espero ter sabido corresponder na dimensão que uma pessoa com a profundidade intelectual do Professor merece. Foi um privilégio. À Professora Adelaide Duarte, professora de Seminário de Investigação, porque genuinamente admiro o interesse que deposita na orientação da cadeira e pela agilidade de compreensão que consegue emprestar à multiplicidade de temas que os alunos tratam nos trabalhos de projeto. Um exemplo de nobreza e de entrega à causa da nossa Faculdade. -

International Journal of Advanced Technology in Engineering and Science www.ijates.com Volume No 03, Special Issue No. 01, March 2015 ISSN (online): 2348 – 7550 TILTING TRAIN TECHNOLOGY Khedkar Sudesh B .1, Kasav Sayali M.2, Jadhav Vishal S.3, Katkade Santosh D.4, Gunjal Shrikant U.5 1,2,3, U. G. Student, 4,5Asst. Prof , Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sandip Foundation’s- SITRC, Mahiravani, Nashik (India) ABSTRACT As a train goes into a curve, it produces substantial centrifugal force towards the outside of the curve. By tilting the train, this centrifugal force is balanced by a force into the inner curve and passenger discomfort is reduced. Modern tilting trains allow operators to achieve higher speeds on existing curved routes without costly track improvements or the need to consider completely new high speed lines. Signals from an accelerometer that measures train speed and curvature are analyzed by a computer, which tilts the individual cars as the first car goes onto the curve. Keywords: Accelerometer, Centrifugal Force, Curve, Higher speeds, Passenger discomfort, Tilting I. INTRODUCTION A train and its passengers are subjected to lateral forces when the train passes horizontal curves. Car body roll inwards, however, reduces the lateral acceleration felt by the passengers, allowing the train to negotiate curves at higher speed with maintained ride comfort [1]. Trains capable of tilting the car bodies inwards in curves are called tilting trains. Tilting trains can be divided in two groups: the naturally tilted trains and the actively tilted trains Natural tilt relies on physical laws with a tilt center located well above the Center of gravity of the car body. -
