Med sine 5,4 km var Asaabanen en af de korteste banestrækninger i landet. Var banen kort, var tilblivelsen til gengæld en langstrakt affære. Fra de første baneplaner til udstedelse af eneretsbevilling gik der syv år. 79 fotos og 8 kort og tegninger.

This book is the first book written in English about the secret story of the birth of the Shinkansen in Japan and its subsequent developments. The author, Mr. Shuichiro Yamanouchi, a former chairman of East Japan Railway (JR East), addresses what the essence of Shinkansen technology is and how it could be achieved in such a short time. And the book, written based on his long experience in railway engineering and management, gives readers a bird's-eye view of the Japanese railway as a whole, and the technical philosophy of his great career behind it. In this book, its whole picture is clarified, that is, the world's first 200 km/h running, dealing with troubles after the opening, and development of the 300 km/h commercial operation after that, including the failure stories encountered in the process. These gave a big stimulation to the development of other high-speed railways, and this book helps readers to learn about the accumulated experiences of Japanese high-speed railways that have not been revealed so far, such as railway safety, noise against the environment, railway privatization, harmonization of management and engineering, and so forth."

This book explores the mechanisms behind high-speed railway (HSR) traffic accidents caused by natural disasters, employing the concept of ¿dynamic tracking, situation assessment, and early warning management¿. It establishes a natural disaster warning system for ensuring the safety of HSR operations, while providing insightful management measures and methods that address the challenges posed by natural disasters. By analyzing the current state and objective circumstances of HSR safety operations, this book distinguishes itself from similar publications both domestically and internationally. It conducts an in-depth analysis of the safe operation of high-speed railways by adopting a systems science approach that effectively merges theory with practical applications. Furthermore, the book explores the developmental trajectory of high-speed railways and investigates the determination of their safe operation. It comprehensively evaluates the safety of high-speed railway operations by employing mathematical theories of uncertainty, subsequently presenting detailed measures to effectively tackle safety concerns related to high-speed railways.

Nach der Eröffnung der Berliner Hoch- und Untergrundbahn 1902 war das Interesse der gut situierten westlichen Berliner Vororte an einem Schnellbahnanschluss geweckt. Selbstbewusst und mit der Unterstützung finanzkräftiger Terraingesellschaften entwickelten die Städte Charlottenburg und Wilmersdorf Pläne für die Erweiterung der Berliner U-Bahn, wobei die Beteiligten teilweise sehr eigenwillige Vorstellungen zur Streckenführung hatten. In diesem Buch schildern ausgewiesene Experten in zeitgenössischen Original-Beiträgen die Entwicklung der Schnellbahnen vom Nollendorfplatz nach Ruhleben, Krumme Lanke und zum Kurfürstendamm zwischen 1906 und 1930. Rund 150 Zeichnungen und Fotos illustrieren dieses Zeitdokument der Berliner Verkehrsgeschichte.

Zwei Ausnahmeerscheinungen des US-amerikanischen Dampflokomotivbaus, der Klasse 4000, genannt Big Boy, der Union Pacific und der T-1 der Pennsylvania Railroad wird mit diesem Buch ein Denkmal gesetzt. Das geschieht in einer für technische Berichte eher ungewöhnlichen Form, nämlich in belletristischer.

Am 15. Juni 1880 wurde das neue Empfangsgebäude der Berlin-Anhalter Eisenbahn am Askanischer Platz dem Verkehr übergeben. Doch die Eröffnung des imposanten Bauwerks von Franz Schwechten war nur eine Etappe des 1871 begonnenen Umbaus des Anhalter Bahnhof in Berlin. Auf einer Länge von 5km wurden neben dem Personenbahnhof ein Güterbahnhof, Werkstätten, Aufstell- und Verschiebegleise und viele weitere Anlagen neu errichtet. In zeitgenössischen Originaltexten werden die Anfänge der Berlin-Anhalter Eisenbahn, der Umbau des Bahnhofs und die Architektur der Gebäude geschildert. Zahlreiche Fotos und Zeichnungen illustrieren dieses Zeitdokument der Berliner Verkehrs- und Architekturgeschichte.

Das Buch beschreibt die Anforderungen an ein Europanetz der Hyperschallbahn auf der Basis der Vakuum-Magnetbahn-Technologie. Es veranschaulicht die vorhandenen und perspektivischen Marktpotenziale im kontinentalen und interkontinentalen Verkehr unter der Maßgabe, dass der Luftverkehr weitgehend durch das neue Verkehrssystem abgelöst wird. Das Buch leitet die Anforderungen an die wesentlichen Systemelemente und die Netzgestaltung ab, um die Marktpotenziale vollständig zu erschließen. Es beschreibt ein Basisnetz und ermittelt auf dieser Grundlage die Entwicklung der Erträge und Kosten sowie die Finanzierung des Systems in einer definierten Zeitlinie über einen gesamten Lebenszyklus. Ergänzend werden weitere breitgefächerte Nachfrage-Szenarien aufgezeigt und technisch-betriebswirtschaftlich bewertet. Das Buch beschreibt die Auswirkungen des Vakuum-Magnetbahn-Systems auf den Luftverkehr und zeigt abschließend Handlungsfelder für die Realisierung des neuen Verkehrssystems auf.

The 2022 Southern Way Special Edition is the story of author Keith Dawe''s railway career which began in 1964 in the last years of Southern Region steam. Unlike many who joined the ranks of footplate crew, there was no railway tradition in his family. Keith was an academically bright student who gave up his schooling to follow the interest he always had in railways and the steam locomotive in particular. He joined the railway as a cleaner at Eastleigh shed when he was only 15, too young even to become a fireman.This memoir of those final years of steam at Eastleigh shed is packed with interesting and informative insights on those last years of SR steam, it is also an affectionate and well written recollection of a long gone era. Chapters deal with diverse topics, such as working both pick up goods trains and longer distance freight diagrams including the nightly services destined for Feltham yard in London. On the passenger side, among the topics covered are the workings through to Bournemouth and the boat trains which served Southampton Docks. The author also provides his personal assessment of the capabilities of many of the different steam classes on which he worked.Keith''s railway career was short lived as the steam railway he loved disappeared in 1967. He felt there was no future for him on the railway so in 1970 he left and returned to his studies. However, this memoir of his time at Eastleigh in those last years of steam is vivid and fascinating to read. All who are interested in SR steam and in that era of transition from steam to diesel and electric traction will thoroughly enjoy this latest Southern Way Special.

Pressure measurement films are an efficient tool to validate the shape and size of wheel-rail contact patches predicted by numerical simulations. However, accurate measurements are only possible if the alteration caused by the presence of the film between contact partners is considered. This work investigates the effect of several influential factors on the resulting deviation and presents a procedure to estimate the measurement error in wheel-rail contact.

Beskrivelse Otte år er gået siden den seneste bog i serien, og derfor er det blevet tid til en opdatering på især jernbanegodstrafikken i Danmark. Efter et historisk lavpunkt er godstransporten på skinner atter stigende, både hvad angår transitgods og varer til og fra destinationer i Danmark. Nye operatører er kommet til, mens andre har måttet dreje nøglen om, og i fremtiden vil signalprogrammet være en økonomisk udfordring for især de mindre selskaber. Udover godstog ser bogen også nærmere på, hvad der har rørt sig på andre områder af jernbanen, herunder lokalbanerne, veterantog og lidt nyheder fra vore nabolande. Som tidligere afrundes bogen på togkirkegården, der ikke længere er forbeholdt gammelt udtjent materiel, men også nyere fejlslagent materiel.

Die britische Hauptstadt bietet Freunden des städtischen Schienennahverkehrs viel mehr als die weltweit bekannte "Underground" bzw. "Tube". Als "Overground" verkehrt eine Art S-Bahn, doch fast genauso dicht ist das übrige Netz an meist radialen Vorortlinien. Manche davon werden bald in die "Elizabeth Line" (Crossrail) integriert. Dazu kommen die fahrerlose "Docklands Light Railway" sowie in Croydon, im Süden von Greater London, eine Straßenbahn, die teils ehemalige Bahnstrecken nutzt. Der Londoner Autor Andrew Phipps gibt in diesem Buch einen Überblick über die Entstehungsgeschichte aller Schienenverkehrsmittel sowie den dort eingesetzten Fahrzeugen. In Atlas-Form findet der Leser am Ende des Buchs detaillierte Netzpläne des gesamten Großraums von London, in dem rund 9 Mio. Menschen leben. // The British capital has much more to offer to urban rail enthusiasts than the world-famous "Underground" or "Tube". There is also the "Overground" which provides an S-Bahn-style service. It is complemented by a series of radial suburban lines, some of which will soon be part of the "Elizabeth Line" (Crossrail). In addition, there is the driverless "Docklands Light Railway" as well as a tram system that serves Croydon in South London. In this book, London-based author Andrew Phipps presents every means of urban rail transport, giving an overview of the respective history of each system and the vehicles used. At the end of the book, the reader will find detailed maps in the form of an atlas of the entire Greater London area, which is home to some nine million people.

In der norddeutschen Metropole betreibt die HOCHBAHN das zweitgrößte U-Bahn-Netz des Landes. Dazu kommt wie in Berlin ein von der Deutschen Bahn betriebenes und mit seitlicher Stromschiene ausgerüstetes S-Bahn-Netz. Straßenbahnen fahren in der Hansestadt seit 1978 nicht mehr, trotzdem werfen wir auch einen Blick auf dieses Verkehrsmittel. // In the northern metropolis, the HOCHBAHN operates Germany's second largest U-Bahn system. Like in Berlin, this is complemented by an S-Bahn network run by Deutsche Bahn and equipped with a third-rail power supply. Since 1978, the hanseatic city has not had any trams, but nonetheless, we also take a look at the history of this means of urban transport.

Die französische Hauptstadt bietet Freunden des städtischen Schienennahverkehrs viel mehr als die weltbekannte "Métro", die derzeit übrigens im großen Stil in den Außenbezirken erweitert wird. Als "RER" verkehrt auch eine S-Bahn weit über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus und fast genauso dicht ist das übrige Netz an Vorortlinien ("Transilien"). Dazu kommen mittlerweile 11 teils voneinander getrennte Straßenbahnlinien, darunter zwei von SNCF betriebene "Tram-Train"-Strecken und zwei "Translohr"-Linien, also Straßenbahnen auf Gummireifen. Das Bild wird abgerundet durch zwei VAL-Systeme, d.h. fahrerlose Kleinprofilmetros zum Anschluss der beiden Großflughäfen. Christoph Groneck stellt in diesem zweisprachigen Buch alle Schienenverkehrsmittel vor, mit einem Überblick über die jeweilige Entstehungsgeschichte sowie den dort eingesetzten Fahrzeugen. In Atlas-Form findet der Leser am Ende des Buchs detaillierte Netzpläne des gesamten Großraums von Paris, in dem rund 10 Mio. Menschen leben. // The French capital has much more to offer to urban rail enthusiasts than the world-famous "Métro", which is currently being expanded on a large scale in the outer areas of the Paris conurbation. There is also the "RER" with frequent cross-city trains that run far beyond the city limits on a network complemented by a series of radial suburban lines classified as "Transilien". In addition, there are now 11 tram lines, some of them isolated from each other, including two "Tram-Train" routes, operated by SNCF, and two "Translohr" lines, which feature trams on rubber tyres. The transport scene is rounded off by two VAL systems, i.e. driverless small-profile metros that connect the two major airports. In this bilingual book, author Christoph Groneck presents every means of urban rail transport, giving an overview of the respective history of each system and the vehicles used. At the end of the book, the reader will find detailed maps in the form of an atlas of the entire metropolitan area of Paris, which is home to some 10 million people.

Im dritten Teil unserer Trilogie über städtischen Schienennahverkehr in Japan stellen wir alle Betriebe im Westen und Süden des Landes vor, von den klassischen U-Bahnen in Osaka, Kyoto oder Fukuoka über diverse besondere Bahnen wie Monorails oder Peoplemover bis hin zu den zahlreichen Straßenbahnen, darunter das größte japanische Netz in Hiroshima. Das Buch ist wie immer illustriert mit zahlreichen Farbfotos und detaillierten Netzplänen.//The third volume of our trilogy about urban rail systems in Japan covers all the systems in West and South Japan, from the metros in Osaka, Kyoto and Fukuoka to the different special transit systems like monorails and people movers, and to the numerous tramways, including Japan's largest network in Hiroshima. As usual, the book is illustrated with a large number of recent colour photos and detailed network maps.

The performance of many railway networks and the quality of service offered is becoming more and more critical. The main issues to be addressed are the increasing traffic volumes and making the best use of the available capacity, at the same time resolving train scheduling and management problems.This is an updated, revised and extended edition of 'Railway Timetable & Traffic', published in 2008. It describes the state-of-the-art methods of railway timetabling and optimisation, capacity estimation, train operations analysis and modelling, simulation, rescheduling and performance assessment. The intention is to stimulate their broader application in practice and to highlight current and future research areas. It is directed at academics, Masters and PhD students, as well as professionals from the railway industry. It will also be of interest to the public authorities that tender, monitor and perhaps fund railway service provision. The overall aim is to improve the attractiveness and efficiency of the train services which can be offered to the public.The key to achieving a higher efficiency and quality of train operations is an awareness of the impact of availability, reliability and robustness of the subsystems on train processes. A deeper insight into the probability of incidents and the propagation of train delays depends on a thorough analysis of real world railway operations and the feedback obtainable. This leads to an optimisation of the timetable and a network-wide improvement in traffic management performance. This know-how should increase the efficiency of the railway system, making it more attractive for regular, occasional and new customers, and ensure that the railways continue to innovate. They will then be able to make the maximum contribution possible to the transport needs of the future.

The contents:¿ An introduction to the European Train Control System (ETCS)¿ A description of how ETCS works and the levels at which it may be employed¿ An exploration of the sub-systems, processes and interfaces¿ The requirements for system testing, commissioning and certification¿ Engineering - the technical, organisational and operational requirements¿ The needs for maintenance, fault-finding and safety monitoring
