Maglev Sensor and Communications System Integration
This paper presents an assessment of the communications and sensor technology integration necessary to assure safety of high-speed transportation on the ground. Candidate architectures...

Safety Hazards of Maglev Guideway and Route Integrity
This paper presents an assessment of safety hazards associated with high-speed transportation on the ground. Hazard sources and consequences are identified through establishment of system...

Contractor's Quality Program Requirements
To examine the applicability of modern QC/QA techniques to large HSGT infrastructure projects constructed by outside contractor consortia....

Concurrent Engineering Planning in HSGT Systems
Why should concurrent engineering concepts and TQM (Total Quality Management) procedures be considered for large scale HSGT (High Speed Ground Transportation) engineering and planning...

High Speed Rail Loading Scenario and Dynamic Tuning of Track
Similarities and differences exist between conventional and high speed rail (HSR) infrastructure design. The differences stem from the dynamic nature of the HSR loading scenario and the...

Aerodynamic Resistance of Trains Running Through a Tunnel
In what follows, some previously published results and formulae have been combined in order to obtain an applicable tool for evaluating the energy consumption of trains in tunnel as a...

Dynamic Study on New Guideway Structure for JR Maglev
This paper presents an introduction of the study for the design and technical development of a newly proposed guideway structure for the superconductive magnetically levitated train system...

The Use of Multibody Software in the Wheel/Rail Contact as Applied to Very High Speed Tests
How strange may it be, the behaviour of railway vehicles depend on contact forces developing between wheels and rails inside patches of no more than 1 cm²....

Assessment of Guideway Systems for Maglev Applications
Recognizing the potential benefits of MAGLEV high speed mass transportation systems, three innovative guideway systems have been evaluated herein from the viewpoint of: (1) loads and performance...

Cable-in-Conduit Superconductors for MAGLEV Magnet Systems
A major advantage of using a Nb₃Sn Cable-in-Conduit Conductor (CICC) for MAGLEV lies in its demonstrated capability to operate in supercritical helium....

High-Speed Ground Transportation and Transportation Decision-Making: A New Perspective
My remarks this morning address the issues surrounding high-speed ground transportation (HSGT) at the federal level. Specifically, I examine both the traditional and the emerging ways...

What Happened to High Speed Rail in Florida?
This paper presents a critical analysis of the 1980s Florida endeavor to develop by private sector franchise America's first true high speed rail system, its failure, and some lessons...

Forensic Aspects of Future HSGT
Forensic sciences deal with the relations and application of technical problems in litigation and court procedures. This paper anticipates possible legal actions that may involve the introduction...

Condemnation & Florida's Rapid Rail Transportation
High Speed Rail Transportation Projects, (HSRT) whether initiated by private interests or government, almost always require the use of eminent domain proceedings or the threat of eminent...

Technology Transfer Considerations Associated with Maglev Programs
Magnetic levitation (maglev) high-speed ground transportation technology, near operational status in Germany and well along in development in Japan, is now a candidate for transfer to...

Potential for the Segmental Development of High Speed Rail in the Orlando-Tampa Corridor
The State of Florida has been pursuing the planning and implementation of high speed rail in the Miami-Orlando-Tampa corridor for the past ten years. Due to financial and institutional...

Implementation and Maintenance of a TGV Line
Because of the success of the TGV in France since the opening date in 1981, SNCF plans to implement 2800 miles of new line in the next 20 years. A new line project poses two management...

Preliminary Test Planning for the National Maglev Initiative
This paper describes the effort undertaken as part of the National Maglev Initiative to identify, document, and analyze the following maglev system aspects: architecture, operational concepts,...

Building a Viable Maglev Industry
Transforming the chaotic fragmentation of competing and incompatible magnetic levitation systems into a robust and expanding U.S. industry will provide substantial benefits to established...

Plan for Development and Implementation of a Domestic Maglev Network
