Noise and Vibration of a Steel Wheel/Steel Rail Personalized Rapid Transit System,

摘要

The report describes a test program which has been conducted to establish baseline noise levels and ride characteristics for a state-of-the-art steel wheel on steel rail personalized rapid transit vehicle. A full-scale test vehicle and an 840-foot track,including two 30-foot curves,have been built and used for 128test runs under various conditions of operation. Permanent records have been made on magnetic tape and oscillograph paper for future analysis as needed.
