Download or read book Maglev Systems for Urban and Regional Transport written by Johannes Klühspies and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of whether or not to innovate urban maglev systems will depend on factors such as operational advantages, environmental impact, investment and operating costs, social acceptance and, above all, the specific transport needs of the city or region concerned. Only if urban maglev systems offer clear advantages over existing conventional transport systems, such as local wheel-rail trains, regional trains, metros, trams and buses, will they be able to establish themselves in the transport market. The study shows how the international transport industry assesses the competitiveness of urban and regional maglev systems in comparison with established passenger and freight transport systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Die Einführung und Verbreitung von Magnetbahnsystemen in Städten und Regionen wird unter anderem von Faktoren wie betrieblichen Vorteilen, Umweltauswirkungen, Investitionskosten, Betriebskosten, gesellschaftlicher Akzeptanz und vor allem von den spezifischen Verkehrsbedürfnissen der jeweiligen Stadt oder Region abhängen. Urbane Magnetbahnsysteme werden sich nur dann auf dem Verkehrsmarkt etablieren können, wenn sie gegenüber den bestehenden konventionellen Verkehrssystemen wie Rad-Schiene-S-Bahn, Regionalbahn, U-Bahn, Straßenbahn und Bus deutliche Vorteile bieten. In dieser Studie wird die Einschätzung der internationalen Verkehrswirtschaft zur Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Magnetschwebebahnen im Vergleich zu den etablierten Systemen des Personen- und Güterverkehrs dargestellt.
Download or read book Infrastructure Design Signalling and Security in Railway written by Xavier Perpinya and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railway transportation has become one of the main technological advances of our society. Since the first railway used to carry coal from a mine in Shropshire (England, 1600), a lot of efforts have been made to improve this transportation concept. One of its milestones was the invention and development of the steam locomotive, but commercial rail travels became practical two hundred years later. From these first attempts, railway infrastructures, signalling and security have evolved and become more complex than those performed in its earlier stages. This book will provide readers a comprehensive technical guide, covering these topics and presenting a brief overview of selected railway systems in the world. The objective of the book is to serve as a valuable reference for students, educators, scientists, faculty members, researchers, and engineers.

This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors begin this book with a systematic overview of superconductivity, superconducting materials, magnetic levitation, and superconducting magnetic levitation - the prerequisites to understand the latter part of the book - that forms a solid foundation for further study in High Temperature Superconducting Magnetic Levitation (HTS Maglev). This book presents our research progress on HTS Maglev at Applied Superconductivity Laboratory (ASCLab) of Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), China, with an emphasis on the findings that led to the world‘s first manned HTS Maglev test vehicle "Century". The book provides a detailed description on our previous work at ASCLab including the designing of the HTS Maglev test and measurement method as well as the apparatus, building "Century", developing the HTS Maglev numerical simulation system, and making new progress on HTS Maglev. The final parts of this book discuss research and prototyping efforts at ASCLab in several adjacent fi elds including HTS Maglev bearing, Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) and HTS maglev launch technology. We hope this book becomes a valuable source for researchers and engineers working in the fascinating field of HTS Maglev science and engineering.

Download or read book Magnetic Levitation written by Hyung-Suk Han and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of magnetic levitation (Maglev) technologies, from fundamental principles through to the state-of-the-art, and describes applications both realised and under development. It includes a history of Maglev science and technology showing the various milestones in its advancement. The core concepts, operating principles and main challenges of Maglev applications attempted across various fields are introduced and discussed. The principle difficulties encountered when applying Maglev technology to different systems, namely air gap control and stabilization, are addressed in detail. The book describes how major advancements in linear motor and magnet technologies have enabled the development of the linear-motor-powered Maglev train, which has a high speed advantage over conventional wheeled trains and has the potential to reach speed levels achieved by aircraft. However, many expect that Maglev technology to be a green technology that is applied not only in rail transportation, but also in diverse other fields; to ensure clean transfer in LCD manufacturing, in ropeless high speed elevators, small capacity rail transportation, space vehicle launchers, missile testers, energy storage, and so on. These potential applications and their unique challenges and proposed technological solutions are introduced and discussed in depth. The book will provide readers from academia, research institutes and industry with insights on where and how to apply Maglev technology, and will serve as a guide to the realization of their Maglev applications.

Download or read book Urban Transportation Planning in the United States written by Edward Weiner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-02-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of U.S. urban transportation policy over the past 50 years illustrates the changing relationship between federal, state, and local governments. This comprehensive text examines the evolution of urban transportation planning from early developments in highway planning in the 1930s to the concern for sustainable development and pollution emissions. Focusing on major national events, the book discusses the influence of legislation, regulations, conferences, federal programs, and advances in planning procedures and technology. The book offers an in-depth look at the most significant event in transportation planning—the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962. Creating a federal mandate for a comprehensive urban transportation planning process carried out cooperatively by states and local governments with federal funding, this act was crucial in the spread of urban transporation. Claiming that urban transportation planning is more sophisticated, costly, and complex than its highway and transit planning predecessors, the book demonstrates how urban transportation planning evolved in response to changes in such factors as environment, energy, development patterns, intergovernmental coordination, and federal transit programs. It further illustrates how broader concerns for global climate change and sustainable development have braided the purview of transportation planning.
