Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Since 1972 the West German Ministry for Research and Technology has been subsidizing a large-scale project of investigation into the limitations of the wheel/rail system. Work in connection with vehicles consists mainly of basic research on track/vehicle interaction, construction of an experimental laboratory-vehicle and manufacture of bearings to be tested on test units. The results are intended to provide a basis for making decisions on transport policy, to compare unconventional transport systems and improve wheel/rail techniques.
