Si segnala la pubblicazione del testo didattico “ENGINEERING AND DESIGN OF RAILWAY SYSTEMS”

Sintesi:
The textbook includes principles and methods of modern engineering, design and operation of rail transport systems, with particular attention to technological issues, high-speed and fast transport, based on the use of active or passive tilting trains. The following main topics are covered: the isolated vehicle; the track system with its components for conventional and high-speed railways; the vehicle interaction with the infrastructure and safety issues; signalling systems and operation; interoperability among European railway networks, with specific reference to loading and rail gauges and to electrification systems; innovation and automation, focusing on tilting trains and advanced systems used in vehicle monitoring and traffic control.
