Author(s) V. A. Profillidis
Greek transport consultant and professor Profillidis offers a concise synopsis of current railway technology and scientific analysis, taking into account international specifications. After reviewing the transport and market context, he describes mechanical behavior, materials, defects, and the design of track and its components. He considers in detail high speeds and other train dynamics and relates them to the consequent requirements imposed on track and layout design. He also surveys the different forms of traction, braking, and tilting technologies. Nostalgic train buffs would be appalled. Distributed in the US by Ashgate. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
