Title :
Technical Papers Presented at the 1990 ASME/IEEE Joint Railroad Conference (Cat. No.90CH2947-0)
Abstract :
The following topics are dealt with: effect of maintenance practices upon performance of freight car railroad trucks; rail corrugation processes under different operating modes; system considerations for heavy haul diesel-electric locomotives: software design criteria for protection of automated transit systems: automatic speed enforcement system for heavy freight trains: high-speed rail transportation on existing infrastructure: railway vehicle system dynamics; alternative forms of motive power for suburban rail rapid transit; Metro North/GE AC propulsion system retrofit program; asphalt railroad trackbed systems; New Haven Line catenary replacement; validation of System 21 monobeam transit; hot bearing detection; electric traction frequency; transponder system for data transmission to trains in remote areas; coupler loading effects on coupler knuckle pin stress; wheel stresses due to nonaxisymmetric temperature distributions; low-resistance HDL seal research; static frequency converters on SEPTA´s 25 Hz commuter rail system; parallel computer simulation of autotransformer-fed AC traction networks; computer-aided maintenance (CAM) and track renewal; vehicle reactions versus track geometry
