  • Development and Maintenance of Class 395 High-Speed Train for UK High Speed 1
    Hitachi Review Vol. 59 (2010), No. 1 39 Development and Maintenance of Class 395 High-speed Train for UK High Speed 1 Toshihiko Mochida OVERVIEW: Hitachi supplied 174 cars to consist of 29 train sets for the Class Naoaki Yamamoto 395 universal AC/DC high-speed trains able to transfer directly between the Kenjiro Goda UK’s existing network and High Speed 1, the country’s first dedicated high- speed railway line. The Class 395 was developed by applying technologies Takashi Matsushita for lighter weight and higher speed developed in Japan to the UK railway Takashi Kamei system based on the A-train concept which features a lightweight aluminum carbody and self-supporting interior module. Hitachi is also responsible for conducting operating trials to verify the reliability and ride comfort of the trains and for providing maintenance services after the trains start operation. The trains, which formally commenced commercial operation in December 2009, are helping to increase the speed of domestic services in Southeast England and it is anticipated that they will have an important role in transporting visitors between venues during the London 2012 Olympic Games. INTRODUCTION for the Eurostar international train which previously HIGH Speed 1 (HS1) is a new 109-km high-speed ran on the UK’s existing railway network. Hitachi railway line linking London to the Channel Tunnel supplied the new Class 395 high-speed train to be able [prior to completion of the whole link, the line was to run on both HS1 and the existing network as part known as the CTRL (Channel Tunnel Rail Link)].

  • The Effect of Pendolino High-Speed Rail on the Structure of Buildings Located in the Proximity of Railway Tracks
    Int. J. of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2016, vol.21, No.1, pp.231-238 DOI: 10.1515/ijame-2016-0015 Technical note THE EFFECT OF PENDOLINO HIGH-SPEED RAIL ON THE STRUCTURE OF BUILDINGS LOCATED IN THE PROXIMITY OF RAILWAY TRACKS K. GRĘBOWSKI* and Z. ULMAN Department of Structural Mechanics Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering Department of Technical Bases of Architectural Design Faculty of Architecture Gdansk University of Technology ul. Narutowicza 11/12, 80-233 Gdansk, POLAND E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] The following research focuses on the dynamic analysis of impact of the high-speed train induced vibrations on the structures located near railway tracks. The office complex chosen as the subject of calculations is located in the northern part of Poland, in Gdańsk, in the proximity of Pendolino, the high speed train route. The high speed trains are the response for the growing needs for a more efficient railway system. However, with a higher speed of the train, the railway induced vibrations might cause more harmful resonance in the structures of the nearby buildings. The damage severity depends on many factors such as the duration of said resonance and the presence of additional loads. The studies and analyses helped to determinate the method of evaluating the impact of railway induced vibrations on any building structure. The dynamic analysis presented in the research is an example of a method which allows an effective calculation of the impact of vibrations via SOFISTIK program. Key words: high-speed trains, FEM, dynamic analysis, railway tracks, structural damage.

  • Bike Carriage on Long-Distance Trains: 7 Basic Services That Give Cyclists a Smile
    Bike carriage on long-distance trains: 7 basic services that give cyclists a smile A collection of good practice examples from across Europe Authors: Fabian Küster and Ed Lancaster 4/17/2013 Summary In April 2012, ECF published the position paper “Bike and Train: A European Odyssey”.1 In the paper we deplored the fact that the services offered by railway companies often do not meet the basic requirements of cyclists and that current EU law2 on passenger rights for railway customers does not help to advance this matter in a legally binding manner. Fortunately, some railway undertakings have taken measures in recent years to improve the services they offer to cyclists, albeit that this has often been after continuous pressure from ECF’s members. It speaks for itself that the cycling community has welcomed these steps. Other railway companies should follow suit, for 2 main reasons: Attract new customers: Cycling tourism is a booming business, with well over 2.3 billion cycle tourism trips annually in Europe3. A service package that meets the needs of cycling tourists has the potential to attract millions of additional train passengers. A key message ECF made back in 1999 still holds true: “Only bicycle transport by train offers the flexibility to choose the starting point and destination of a cycling trip freely and this is a promising market for all rail investors to invest in.”4 The financial crisis and continuous drop in car sales, along with changing mobility behaviour, in particular among young adults in urban areas, has the potential to win customers for life.

  • The ICE 4 the New Flagship of the DB AG in the Exact Scale 1:87
    PIKO vehicle information 1:87 booklet 6/2019 The ICE 4 The new flagship of the DB AG in the exact scale 1:87 Also available as sound versions for direct and alternating current Electric multiple unit Class 412 / 812, ICE 4 Picture: M. Fröhlich In 2011, the Deutsche Bahn AG assigned Siemens Mobility with the construction of up to 300 new high-speed trains the use in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The new Class 412/812 trains, which are being jointly developed by Siemens and Bombardier, will be powered by several power cars. The train configuration provides for various modular units ranging from five-car to 14-car trains. This concept allows the train to be easily adapted to the individual requirements of the transport companies for the desired acceleration, speed and number of seats. To date, the DB has ordered 85 twelve-car and 45 seven-car multiple units in the basic configuration, consisting of tractionless end and control cars, powered seating cars and on-board bistro as well as non-driven seating, dining and service cars. The seven-car multiple unit train has three powered cars and offers 456 seats over a length of 200 meters. A twelve-car multiple unit has six powered cars and 830 seats over a length of 346 metres. The maximum speed is 250 km/h. The external shape was based on the existing ICE fleet and further developed. Since December 2017, the first 12-car trains have been in regular service on the Hamburg-Würzburg, Stuttgart-Munich and Hamburg-Berlin-Munich lines.
