Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

A number of considerations are first put forward regarding compliance with the technical regulations adopted by the Spanish Rail Authority in relation to the design of long railway tunnels for high-speed trains. A presentation is then made of the possible measures that could be taken to improve safety conditions and operating aerodynamics. This includes possible alternatives to sections of the Spanish high-speed rail network that involve long tunnels and are currently at the planning stage or at the early stages of works. (A)
