  • High Speed Rail in Spain - a Statement from a Foreign Expert
    25 número 6 - junio - 2018. Pág 477 - 509 High Speed Rail in Spain - a statement from a foreign expert Andersen, Sven Senior Consultant for High Speed Rail1 Abstract In Spain all high speed trains run over tracks in a special built high speed network. No disturbing influences have to be taken into account for daily operation process. This is a great advantage. Spain shares this advantage with the high speed rail networks in Japan, Taiwan and China. Running trains on parallel train paths and at least from case to case in 3 minutes headway to each other is a basic condition to reach a high use to capacity. But Spain is running trains with different speeds on its high speed lines. Another condition for a high cost-benefitratio is a strict regular service with at least one service per hour. RENFE however is running the AVE trains in a rather irregular timetable. Some examples will be presented to demonstrate this fact. The author gives some comparisons of travel times in Spain, Japan and China. The routing data of the AVE line Madrid - Sevilla is compared with those of the Shinkansen Shin Osaka - Hakata. Based on this comparison the author proposes an upgrading of the AVE-Line Madrid - Sevilla for 300 km/h. A strict regular service for all AVE lines can be developed on the basis of a new travel time Madrid - Sevilla with 118 min together with a 142 min nonstop travel time Barcelona - Madrid. The cost-benefit analysis shows several results, above all nearly 100% more train kilometres as well as saving of running days from EMU’s and track change constructions.

The "stripe" style paint schemes would be used on AMTRAK PAINT SCHEMES Amtrak for many more years. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation. Phase paint schemes Phase I F40PH in Phase II Livery Phase II was one of the first paint schemes of Amtrak to use entirely the "stripe" style.

  • Stadiul Actual Şi Evoluţia Vagoanelor Destinate Transportului Feroviar De Călători
    STADIUL ACTUAL ŞI EVOLUŢIA VAGOANELOR DESTINATE TRANSPORTULUI FEROVIAR DE CĂLĂTORI Elvis-Georgian ZIDARU THE CURRENT STATE AND EVOLUTION OF RAIL PASSENGER WAGONS Passengers’ wagons are in constant development, and the requirements are becoming higher. The current trend is to increase the velocity which requires constructive solutions to achieve this objective. Keywords: rail passenger, traffic growth rates, the country wagons, evolution Cuvinte cheie: transport feroviar de călători, creșterea vitezelor de circulație, tara vagoanelor, evoluție 1. Introducere Tendinţa transporturilor pe calea ferată şi în special a transporturilor de călători este de creștere a vitezelor de circulaţie, de sporire a confortului şi de optimizare a întregului proces tehnologic. Pentru realizarea acestor aspecte sunt necesare modernizări şi dezvoltarea de noi tehnologii în ceea ce privește calea de rulare, vehiculele dar şi sistemele inteligente de semnalizare. De-a lungul timpului transportul feroviar de călători a fost într-o continuă evoluţie, luând naştere la jumătatea secolului XIX când a fost înfiinţată prima cale ferată din lume şi continuând până în zilele noastre unde cerinţele cresc de la an la an iar inginerii în domeniu se lovesc de provocări din ce în ce mai mari. 297 Datorită cerinţelor în domeniu în ceea ce priveşte transportul feroviar de călători trebuie acordată atenţie mai multor aspecte precum scurtarea timpilor de circulaţie a garniturilor, încercarea de eliminare pe cât posibil a întârzierilor, reducerea costurilor de transport iar în acelaşi timp creşterea sau menţinerea confortului călătorilor dar cel mai important aspect, a siguranţei circulaţiei. 2. Stadiul actual în România La acest moment în România domeniul transportului feroviar de călători este la un nivel considerabil inferior în comparație cu țările vest- europene.
