  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

  • What Is the JR East Group Doing to Prevent Global Warming?
    Environmental Environmental Measures to Prevent Global Warming What is the JR East Group Doing to Prevent Global Warming? In an effort to reduce its CO2 emission levels, the JR East Group promotes greater energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy. It also is promoting intermodal transportation, aimed at reducing CO2 emissions of the country's entire transportation system.

  • Toshiba Review
    Social Infrastructure Social Infrastructure Systems Mass Production of Electric Control Units for Electric Power Steering Systems Demand has risen for electric power steering (EPS) systems, which utilize an electric motor for their operation, accompanying improvements in fuel efficiency and the overall computerization of automotive vehicles. An EPS is Social Infrastructure equipped with an electric control unit (ECU) that calculates the appropriate assistance power for steering and supplies the required electric power to the motor. A line for the mass production of ECUs for EPS systems has been built at Toshiba Information Equipment (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (TIH), and production ECU for EPS systems and shipment commenced in January 2014. Because the ECU of an EPS system is classified as a critical safety part, which must have high safety and reliability, measures have been established to ensure high quality in the production line at TIH. These measures include thorough supplier management, prevention of the outflow of defective prod- Social Infrastructure Systems ucts, statistical process control to prevent defects in each process, a traceabil- ity system to record process information and verification results, and training in quality manufacturing. A key feature of the ECUs produced at TIH is the adoption of a bare chip surface packaging structure consisting of a field-effect transistor (FET) and copper connector, thereby achieving both miniaturization and cost reduction. Toshiba is the first in the industry to realize this technology(*). These units also provide a fail-safe mechanism without the need for a redundant proces- sor structure through the use of a microprocessor that provides enhanced Production line for ECUs for EPS systems functional safety.

  • Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 1048 AM
    Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 10)48 AM Shinkansen The Shinkansen (Japanese: 新幹線, pronounced [ɕiŋkaꜜɰ̃ seɴ], lit. ''new trunk line''), colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, in order to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network.[1][2] It is operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. A lineup of JR East Shinkansen trains in October Over the Shinkansen's 50-plus year history, carrying 2012 over 10 billion passengers, there has been not a single passenger fatality or injury due to train accidents.[3] Starting with the Tōkaidō Shinkansen (515.4 km, 320.3 mi) in 1964,[4] the network has expanded to currently consist of 2,764.6 km (1,717.8 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 240–320 km/h (150– 200 mph), 283.5 km (176.2 mi) of Mini-Shinkansen lines with a maximum speed of 130 km/h (80 mph), and 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of spur lines with Shinkansen services.[5] The network presently links most major A lineup of JR West Shinkansen trains in October cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu, and 2008 Hakodate on northern island of Hokkaido, with an extension to Sapporo under construction and scheduled to commence in March 2031.[6] The maximum operating speed is 320 km/h (200 mph) (on a 387.5 km section of the Tōhoku Shinkansen).[7] Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 603 km/h (375 mph) for SCMaglev trains in April 2015.[8] The original Tōkaidō Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, three of Japan's largest cities, is one of the world's busiest high-speed rail lines.

    Open Sound Data Catalog https://desktopstation.net/sounds/ Created on 2021/04/17 19:22:02 This catalog introduces a list of locomotives and sound data available on Open Sound Data, a project for distributing Japanese-style sound data for digital model railroads (DCC). Use of the data is free of charge, but compliance with the terms and conditions is required. Please refer to the Open Sound Data website for more information. Old Kokuden Type nose suspension drive Provided by MB3110A@zhengdao_X The sound of a suspended motor is something that we cannot hear around us anymore. The ESU sound decoder fulfilled my wish that the nostalgic sound of the suspension motor would remain in service forever. The sound source is based on the running sound of Tobu 3050 series, and various operation sounds such as old auxiliary equipment are added to make it highly versatile. The sound source is based on the running sound of Tobu 3050 series. This data can be used with the LokSound V4 series and LokSound 5 series, but the LokSound V4 rescue version has some limitations in sound quality and functions.

I wanted to preserve the sound of the original engine in a model, so I combined the sound recorded by MB3110A with my own sound. I would be happy if you could run it with the diesel sound.
